About the Book

As a multi-generational book for third-graders through senior citizens, this story presents the first ten years of the life of Barack Obama. In that time, he experienced: (1) Growing up without his father in the Hawai`ian island culture with his maternal grandparents and his mother; (2) moving with his mother to Indonesia as a kindergartner to live with his step-father; (3) experiencing a culture with a new language, new foods, new ways of living, and (4) returning to Honolulu to enter 5th grade at the prestigious Punahou School, where he did not fit in because his life in Indonesia taught him sports and school and lifestyle that didn't match what was enjoyed by the American kids. As one retired university professor put it: "Everyone ought to read this book, regardless of political persuasion. I'm a Republican, so I know what Republicans should read."
About the Author: Loralee Coleman Cooley has worked as a storyteller since 1977, taking as her professional moniker STORYSPINNING, a combination of STORYspinning and yarnSPINNING. While living in Atlanta Georgia during the 1980s, she served as primary founder of the regional "Southern Order of Storytellers," an organization that promotes storytelling and presents festivals, workshops and seminars for aspiring storytelling afficionados. She and her husband Ed, a Presbyterian pastor, currently reside in Cordell Oklahoma, with their Standard Poodles Lavender and Lilac. They claim several (now adult) foster and international "daughters" scattered over several states and who represent several countries, including Brazil and Bulgaria and the U.S.
