The new US president is shaking things up in the publishing world, with at least 30 books about him on the market in the youth-oriented titles alone — a record for a president in his first year of office.
Move over, Winnie the Pooh. And watch out, Harry Potter. Children’s books have a new hero: Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the United States.
The life of the new president has inspired kiddie titles from “Mama Voted for Obama,” to “Barack Obama: Change Has Come” or “Hopes and Dreams: The Story of Barack Obama.”
