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.
