Of+Thee+I+Sing

This is a wonderful book. When I mentioned it to someone in the kitchen, they said there was some controversy about it. I can't imagine why. It's an uplifting letter from the 44th president to his 2 daughters. It is a largish book, on the left are simple questions : "Have I told you that you're strong?" - and the facing page has a wonderful illustration of Helenjackie Keller and a short paragraph about her. "Have I told you that you are inspiring?" has a picture of Caesar Chavez speaking to farmworkers. George Washington, Maya lin, Sitting Bull, Jackie Robinson are a few others. The illustrations by Loren Long are wonderful (you might remember his work in Madonna's retelling of a Jewish folktale, Mr. Peabody's Apples.Great book, use it every year, teaches the importance of choosing words carefully.)
