A tiny book, perhaps 5 X 7 - but one I picked up and read three times as it sat before me on the table at Borders. Simple colors - black/gray on cream. Powerful, unforgettable words. Sketches - of the Obama family, of Americans, of Pres. Obama, of the White House. Simple. Lovely. Special.

We're not going to settle anymore.
and
What began as a whisper has now swelled to a chorus that cannot be ignored.
and
Yes We Can.
and
Together, ordinary people can still do exraordinary things.
and
I believe that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices and meet the challenges that face us.
and more!

Such a hopeful book.
