What's This?
A celebration of President Obama's ties to Hawaii highlights the state's cultural traditions and includes photos from Barack Obama's childhood.
Barack Obama is the first United States President to be born in Hawaii, the Aloha State. A President from Hawaii -- originally distributed exclusively in that state -- explores the unique history and cultural traditions of President Obamas birthplace. In addition to the well-known concept of aloha, it introduces such Hawaiian concepts as kokua (to help), lokahi (unity), and ohana (family), among others, and includes quotes from Barack Obamas speeches, books, and interviews that reflect and embrace these themes.
Dr. Terry Carolan was born in Melbourne, Australia, and moved to Hawaii in 1977. A pediatrician in private practice on the island of Kauai since 1979, Dr. Carolan has written six other childrens books with Hawaiian themes.
Joanna Carolan was born in San Francisco. Her grandparents moved to Kauai in 1967, and she spent part of her teenage years living with them in Wailua. She is an artist and owner of a studio and gallery on Kauai, Hawaii.
Elizabeth Zunon is the illustrator of several picture books, including Lala Salama by Patricia MacLachlan. She lives in Albany, New York.
