Michelle Obama: First Mom

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robert T. Barrett. Weatherford (Obama: Only in America) here chronicles the First Lady's childhood and pre–Barack accomplishments, pointedly downplaying her White House days: "What Michelle vows is that she is a mother first and a First Lady second." It's a point well taken, but the text can be a little overdramatic. Barrett's sepia-heavy oils are disarmingly intimate, almost like personal photographs.
