     When most people think of important American political figures, they are more likely to think of a President before they think of first lady. As students learn about the American government, I think that it is important for students to also have a background about the president's family. This is one reason I really love this book, Michelle Obama. It provides its readers about Michelle's childhood, education, career success, how she met President Obama, being a mother, and a wife to such a successful political figure in America. The photographs in the book are interesting because they include ones from her childhood and wedding. I think this book would be great to read with young students, because it is a quick read, has a lot of photographs, and provides young readers with enough information to understand who Michelle Obama is.
