(4) K-3 Illustrated by Loren Long. With the conceit of providing inspiration to his daughters, Obama presents thumbnail portraits of thirteen notable Americans, from George Washington to Jackie Robinson to Maya Lin. The writing is sometimes heavy-handed, but the array of subjects is thoughtful. Long's emotive acrylic paintings and a smart book design have more pull than the text. Brief biographies of the subjects are appended.
