Barack Obama has inspired millions of people around the world–and an unwavering chorus of those admirers are children. This delightfully charming collection includes more than two hundred letters that kids have written to President Obama. Some of these messages are humorous, some are heartwarming, all of them are sincere–making this volume the perfect gift for any occasion.
The children ask questions: "Why did you want to be president?" "Do you think you could pass a law making chocolate a vegetable in our country?" They give suggestions: "I think you should fix things in the world to be more fair." They offer advice: "You should bring a yo-yo to the White House." They share hopes: "I want you to care about schools. I am in kindergarten." They even volunteer expertise: "I will help you learn to bowl because you don't know how to bowl."
Whether discussing such weighty issues as the "econimical" crisis, the environment, and alternative energy or simply giving shout-outs to First Daughters Sasha and Malia, these kid correspondents express, as only children can, pure optimism, avid curiosity, and unadulterated elation about this historic moment. Complete with original illustrations by the letter writers themselves, and wonderful reproductions of some of the kids' handwritten messages, this marvelous book–a true message of hope for our time–is a keepsake for the whole family to enjoy.

reviewed Kids' Letters to President Obama on December 08, 2019 Kids' Letters to President Obama
I read this book when it first came out. I recently came across it again, and was drawn to re-read these letters, now that we are in a time when so many of us search in vain for a sense of hope about our country's leaders. I also have a personal connection to the book: My son, now a high-school senior, submitted a letter to this contest when he was six, and was one of the winners, so his letter appears in the book. He's the boy who offered to teach the Leader of the Free World how to bowl!
Some of the letters are funny; some are thought-provoking or heartbreaking. Some manage to be all three. Children ask the president for jobs for their parents, money for the rent, looser immigration laws so a deported mother can come back home, a cure for cancer, and lower tuition prices for an older sister who has been accepted to top-notch schools but can't afford to attend. Others ask for chocolate cake, playdates with Malia and Sasha, or Guitar Hero! All are a good reminder that the decisions presidents make affect many people who have no voice in government.
