"O f Thee I Sing: A Letter to My D aughters" is a trib u te to 13 groundbreaking Americans, from the first president, George Wash ington, to baseball great Jackie Robinson to artist Georgia O'Keeffe. It will be released Nov. 16 by Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Read ers, an imprint o f Random House Children's Books. Obama's book is illustrated by Loren Long, whose many credits include Watty Piper's classic "The Little Engine That Could," Randall de S ev e's "T oy B oat" and M ad o n n a's "M r. P eab o d y 's Apples." Long wrote and illustrated the children's stories "Otis" and BARACK O B A M A A L e tte r to M y D a u g h te rs n .i.t r U K v . u nv L O R E N L O N G "Drummer Boy." His cover design for "O f Thee I Sing" is a sunny impression o f presidential daugh ters Sasha and Malia Obama walk ing their dog, Bo, along a grassy field. Random House children's presi dent and publisher Chip Gibson lauded the new Obama book, which is intended for readers ages 3 and up. "It is an honor to publish this extraordinary book, which is an in spiring marriage o f words and im ages, history and story," Random House publisher Chip Gibson said. "'O f Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters' celebrates the charac teristics that unite all Americans - the potential to pursue our dreams and forge our own paths." Obama's 40-page book will have a first printing o f500,000 copies and a list price of$ 17.99. BothofObama's previous works, the memoir "Dreams From My Father" and the policy book "The Audacity o f Hope," are million sellers. The president will donate any author proceeds to "a scholarship fund for the children o f fallen and disabled soldiers serving our na tion," the publisher said in a state ment.
