DAYS OF
COLTURE
(AP) - An inspirational book for
children from President Barack
Obama about American pioneers
was already a top seller last week,
two days after the book was an
nounced and 2 months before its
scheduled release.
"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.
