This exciting biography introduces readers to one of the most remarkable persons in recent times and in the news today-Barack Obama. This resource takes a close-up look at Barack Obama and reveals information about his early life, inspirations, and struggles he faced on the rise to greatness.

His mother came from Kansas. His father came from Kenya. He grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia, far from the center of American politics. Few people had even heard of Barack Obama before 2004. But one powerful speech in Boston changed all that for the Illinois senator. In 2008, this inspiring leader ran for the country's top job - president.
