review 1: The book titled Our Enduring Spirit: President Barack Obama's First Words to America was amazingly illustrated by Greg Ruth. This historic nonfiction book was presented to specificly highlight the night of the forty fourth president historic inagural speech. The words that the president spoke was inspirational and honest. He was mindful of the past while looking ahead to the future, President Obama's address conveyed a singular vision for a country united. Brought to life in stunning paintings by acclaimed artist Greg Ruth, Our Enduring Spirit is a record of this vision and a tribute to all people with the promise, the determination, and the hope to make it so. This thin watercolor picture cardboard book is good to present to elementary and middle school students. As this ... morebook would be presented to a class, the students could identify what was meant by some of the cursive text. For example, "risk takers", and "determination".
review 2: This book is a published, illustrated version of Barack Obama's inaugural speech. His message is incredibly uplifting, and a great reminder to readers about what it means to be American. It helps in uniting the country by highlighting similar national beliefs that make us the country we are today. I think this illustrated version is great for children in that they receive a contemporary view of our country, as told by our president in chief. Furthermore, the President touches on issues of equality and diversity, something all children need to learn in today's day and age. It is a very timely and effective read, with beautiful illustrations and highlighted text that draws attention to important words used in the speech. less
