In this poignant letter to his daughters, Barack Obama has written a moving tribute to thirteen groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation. From the artistry of Georgia O'Keeffe, to the courage of Jackie Robinson, to the patriotism of George Washington, Obama sees the traits of these heroes within his own children, and within all of America's children.

Breathtaking, evocative illustrations by award-winning artist Loren Long at once capture the personalities and achievements of these great Americans and the innocence and promise of childhood.

This beautiful book celebrates the characteristics that unite all Americans, from our nation's founders to generations to come. It is about the potential within each of us to pursue our dreams and forge our own paths. It is a treasure to cherish with your family forever.

Up to 20 people (think scouts, youth groups, birthday parties?) can attend a two-hour workshop that will teach participants to walk like a fox, hear like an owl, see like a cougar, and as a result observe more of what is out there in the natural world. You will learn the concept of Concentric Rings - how your actions affect the other critters in the woods. And you will finish with an Awareness Walk, testing your newfound powers of observation. This workshop will be held on a mutually-agreed upon date and taught by our friends at Nature Education Programs, Ltd. Then put your new Earth Awareness skills to work at your group campout at our peaceful 60-acre McDonald Farm headquarters in south Naperville! Must be used by April 30th, 2024.

About Olivia's Birds:

One 11 year-old girl can make a difference-as budding ornithologist and artist Olivia Bouler has proven, single-handedly raising over $175,000 for the Gulf Coast oil spill recovery. Devastated by the disaster and eager to do her part, Olivia wrote a letter to Audubon, "11 years old and willing to help" offering her own bird paintings to raise contributions for Gulf recovery efforts. The idea took flight, and Olivia proceeded to send out over 500 paintings, many of which are captured in this lavish picture book that recaps her valiant campaign to save birds affected by the spill.
Written in her own words, this unique introduction to backyard and endangered birds features Olivia's hand-drawn illustrations, bird facts, and full-color photos celebrating Olivia's campaign. Olivia's Birds supports Audubon's conservation mission, including Gulf Coast cleanup efforts and is printed on FSC eco-friendly paper.A 2012 Parents Choice Gold Awards winner!

About Butterfly Birthday:

One of the most rewarding experiences you can share with a child is raising and releasing a butterfly into the wild. Butterfly Birthday is a lyrical introduction to the magical world of butterflies. The rhymes in the text charm the reader as the story of the caterpillar's metamorphosis unfolds before you.
