Allen Jay and the Underground Railroad de Marlene Targ Brill
A good middle elementary book to introduce harsh truths in a not overwhelming way.
I thought that Barack Obama: Working to Make a Difference was a very well-written biography of the man who will be our next president. Having read Barack Obama's books, Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope, I can say that the information contained in this biography for kids seems accurate and complete, except for the mis-spelling of his oldest daughter's name, which is listed a “Maile” in two different places in the book and should read, “Malia”. The book also doesn't mention that President-elect Obama's youngest daughter, Natasha, usually goes by the nickname, “Sasha”, but that is a relatively minor thing. The book covers the time from Barack Obama's birth to his Senate win and hits all the most important points, though there is nothing of his time in the Senate or his campaign for the presidency. Overall though, in my opinion, this is a great book for young readers to learn more about the man who is soon to be president, and even though I didn't learn anything new, adults who are unfamiliar with his life story to date may find it useful as a quick primer. Barack Obama: Working to Make a Difference is part of the Gateway Biographies series, an extensive series of biographies of famous people written just for young readers.… (mais)
Outlines the history of Veterans Day from its beginnings after World War I, and describes several ways citizens honor war veterans.
