With the right illustrations, this could easily be a Ladybird book — Everything You Need to Know about Obama. Kerry Shale certainly reads it like a bedtime story, especially the sentimental part about his mother getting him up at 4am to give him three hours' tuition before school and cautioning him like a fairy godmother that «If you want to grow into a human being you’re going to need some values — honesty, fairness, straight talk and independent judgment.» What about the pumpkin and white mice? Three centuries of American history are dealt with in as many minutes, there’s a brief explanation of how the various branches of US government — judiciary, legislative and executive — work, and then we’re on to the really important stuff about Malia and Sasha Obama’s favourite food, books, pop groups, labels. Their secret service codenames, by the way, are Radiance and Rosebud respectively, but you’d better keep mum about that. It’s classified.
