Discover the incredible life story of Barack Obama, the first African American president of the USA.

Barack Obama is famous for his meteoric rise to the presidency of the most powerful country in the world - the USA. This is the story of how he realized his dreams - a story of success, resilience, and perseverance that enabled him to become one of the most admired leaders the world has ever seen. In this children's biography, discover Barack's fight against racial and social injustices, hardships and setbacks in his early career, and his personal happiness when marrying Michelle. From his unsettled early childhood, where he witnessed his parents' divorce and criss-crossed the globe between Indonesia and Hawaii, through to his struggle to find a meaningful first job as a young man, Barack's journey is remarkable, unpredictable, and a gripping true story to inspire young readers..
