    No, I think it is just more propaganda about "The One." I noticed how strange the ratings on Amazon.com were for this book - either 1 or 5 stars, nothing in between. However, I question why Obama would allow anyone write something like this about him - does he really believe in being The One, wants to be our God for four years?

    A link below is to the web site of Nikki Grimes and this quote from the book she put on her web site. So if he got inspiration from God, so how can we stand in his way??? I do not believe that Obama is genuine, and hope he loses - or there may be more "deity" books about him...I am just afraid for America with him at the steering wheel.

    From the website below - from book of Nikki Grimes:

    One Sunday when Barack was sitting in church,

    Barack heard God say, "Slow down,

    Look around you.

    Now look to me.

    There is hope enough here

    to last a lifetime."

    Barack smiled,

    tears rolling down his cheeks.

    Suddenly he knew for certain

    Hope would last long enough

    for him to make a difference.

    I don't live in the USA, seriously what is wrong with everyone, would you please understand that the amount of political propaganda is near to burst your heads, what is it with you, vote for someone but don't shove things up your kids heads. Its even worst than fanatical people from the middle east. But i suppose its for children about age 8, If you feel like it do it, If I was the parent id give him something else, the elections are just crazy they even suggested killing Chavez, at least that is an advantage of excessive immorality amongst the candidates.

    I've seen the cover, but I don't know exactly what it's saying on the inside that would be inappropriate for a child. How old is this child anyway? looking at the author and reading the title, I would say yes, I would say it has nothing but good to say about this man. Maybe describing how a man with such color has risen and chose to leads this country. maybe it describes what courage, intelligence, and strength he has.

    properly, My toddler is all grown up now and stale on her very own so i do no longer think of i might have a say in what she comes to a decision to envision. although, whilst she grew to become into little i might have made her wait till she grew to become into older (in her little ones) and ought to understand the ideas of appropriate and incorrect, and all that. yet particular, i might encourgae her to envision in spite of she grew to become into involved in interpreting, as long as she grew to become into keen to talk what she grew to become into interpreting with me afterwards. We tended to share our interpreting cloth plenty whilst she grew to become into youthful and might communicate approximately what we've been each and each interpreting to one yet another. So if she felt delicate interpreting and telling me with regard to the tale then i might have had NO concern together with her interpreting it. Raji the eco-friendly Witch

    Well Granny...if people compared Mein Kampf they would definitely not want their kids reading this.

    Absolutely not. It sounds like it was written for the Hitler kids.

    With the small amount that I have seen of this book, my answer would be yes. It is a child's book about a person who went through experiences and had hope and was spiritual, yada yada yada. As adults, we see it as glorifying Obama. As a child, they just see a story about a person and what one person can do.

    It is our job as parents to teach the golden rule, "don't believe everything you read."
