This book comes at a perfect time as the new presidency sets out to reshape the U.S. Beautifully designed volume, it offers a collection of stories, letters, interviews, photos, art, and easy-to-read essays about American presidents, their childhood reading lists, and the books they read to their children. A candid, heartening view into the lives of our leaders and their origin stories, it illuminates the human side rarely shown to the public and the narratives that shaped their --and ultimately our--worldview. A gem for every bookshelf!
