Encouragement

Yes, I’ve been told, read and or personally witnessed the sacrifices, bravery and genius of the fifteen diverse yet extraordinary leaders, humanitarians American/Immigrant Americans mentioned in “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters”. However, today 06.14.2025 as I (among many others) celebrate “Barak Obama Appreciation Day” I’m particularly grateful, proud & thankful for your contributions to restore “hope”, equality liberty & justice for all which believes in the American dream of democracy in this 🇺🇸 country & around the globe 🌏 . Yet, today I listen too, read & or reread the published works of our 44th President (Barak Hussein Obama) to remind & encourage myself “Have I Told You…” the road ahead won’t be easy. But God! our joy is coming 😊‼️

A good inspiration

However, I expected it to be more poetic without some many facts just like the napoleon love letters.

Outstanding bedtime story for children

Really wish President Obama had recorded it himself. He has a great, reassuring voice. Outside of that, wonderful!

A great book

A wonderful book that I recommend to all for encouragement and improvement. It is very well written.

Awesome Work

The idea is awe-inspiring. And the performance was masterfully done. Through his work, Barack recognises the tiny strengths of his daughters and magnifies them through the achievements of great men and women. He also takes us down the history lane to appreciate and thank those who were true to their creativity. It's a piece that anyone should fall for.

of thee i sing

i felt it was very well written and well thought out--i enjoyed listening to it--

Sweet letter to the Obama children

Beautiful inspirational words from an inspirational man. I listened three times today. God bless you.

A beautiful love letter to all our children

A word perfect expression of love!

My dad has been sick recently and loves to listen to this book - he’s the kind of man who would say these things.

These are the kind of affirmations that all children should hear.

A work of art. The narration is perfect!

Great

Loved it and the narrator was a very good at telling how he felt about his daughters.

Short, sweet, inspirational

The letter itself is very short, loving, teaching, thoughtful, and inspiring. The description following takes up at least half the listening time. Andre Braugher does a fine job as narrator, but it is too bad Barack couldn’t have read it himself. The letter is beautifully written, full of thoughts and reminders of who we are or ought to be as a nation. I would wish that every American could read and hear his message to his daughters— and to us. (Oh, and the illustration of the girls and Bo is adorable.)
