First Family


By: Deborah Hopkinson Illustrated by: AG Ford

Why is it that what the things that we do not know about tend to be among the most interesting topics to investigate? "First Family" explains the daily life of President Obama, the First Lady, Michelle and their two daughters, Malia and Sasha. The Pictures are by far the most fascinating - illustrations that capture perfectly the many expressions that the general public has seen the First Family express on Television. Even the dog, Bo gets a page all to himself. It is a great way to begin talking about government with the class, or just to explain how the President goes about his important daily activities. Even as an adult, I found out incredibly interesting facts about what the President does and how the White House functions on a daily basis. A fun read that all children will likely be fascinated by.

Ages: 4-7
