Of+Thee+I+Sing

This is a wonderful, uplifting book. When I mentioned it in the kitchen, someone remarked that there was some controversy surrounding it. I can't imagine why. It's a letter from the 44th president to his 2 daughters about some of the heroes and heroines whose contributions have shaped this country. On the left side are simple questions: "Have I told you that you are strong?" =- and the corresponding picturehas a wonderful illustration of Helen Keller and a brief paragraph. "Have I told you that you are inspiring?" shows Caesar Chavez. Jane Addams, Maya Lin, George Washington and Sitting Bull are some of the 13 Americans here. The illustrations by Loren Long are wonderful.
