Of Thee I Sing by Barack Obama6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() On the last page, father and daughters, hand in hand, continue their walk. The right side of each two-page spread identifies that child, pictures the individual as an adult, and explains the contributions to history. The left side of each two-page spread asks a question-“Have I told you that you are creative?” “Have I told you that you are brave?” “Have I told you that you have your own song?”-and shows the sisters approaching another child. How you laugh and sunshine spills into the room? How the sound of your feet running from afar brings dancing rhythms to my day? Have I told you lately how wonderful you are? On the title page of President Barack Obama’s picture book, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, the president’s young daughters, Malia and Sasha, are walking down a road as their papa looks on from a distance.
