This review is from: Yes, We Can! A Salute To Children From President Obama's Victory Speech (Paperback)

I bought this for my then-18 month old daughter as a picture book. All the pictures are actual photographs of the President on the campaign trail. Many diverse people and some great pictures. The President's message is very simple and positive. My daughter now understands that "Obama" as she calls him is the president and she is starting to recite parts of the book back to me.

In no way do I believe this is some sort of "indoctrination" piece. Just a very simple and positive message couched in terms that even children can understand. I suggest this book.

This review is from: Yes, We Can! A Salute To Children From President Obama's Victory Speech (Paperback)

This is a great message for children, especially in a time when everyone is arguing about politics and government. Children need to be able to trust their president and respect him/her, no matter what is going on around them. My only problem with the book is that I wish it were a little longer and more in depth. Otherwise, I would recommend the book.

This review is from: Yes, We Can! A Salute To Children From President Obama's Victory Speech (Paperback)

Thank God Mr. Obama does not call people names, a habit some adopted when Mr. Reagan started calling his fellow AMERICANS by the "L" word, as though we were something to be loathed instead of loved as countrymen with differing opinions. We are all Americans; let's not degrade each other any more!!!!!! Yes, let us salute our children!!!!!
