| Publisher Description: Yes I Can puts together stories inspired by the first President of color, Barrack Obama. They seek to encourage children of color and mixed heritage to set goals, work hard and know that all things are attainable; even if that goal is to be President of the United States. Most importantly it reaffirms that with hard work, focus and staying positive all things are possible. This colorful book includes historical references of past presidents and leaders with both black and white and color images. With our 44th President in mind, fictitious children characters within this book share their hopes and dreams for a successful life before emphatically stating YES I CAN. |
