I wanted to offer educators more chances to win. I want this in school libraries and classrooms.
I would love the chance to win :) This looks like a very interesting book!
Hello Kamewh,
You must provide contact information.
I love this book. Just flipping through and reading the comments was awesome. Now I'm going back to read about the designers.
I'm a librarian and you are on my blogroll.
I am a teacher and a great admirer of Mrs. Obama. I would enjoy having this book. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
What a lovely book- I am a teacher in Western Canada and we enjoy reading and hearing about Mrs. Obama. I admire her positive encouraging ways. She is a fantastic mother and a great role model.
I hope that you get lots of visitors.
Warmest regards from a Western Canadian Quilter,
Anna

I love Michelle Obama. She and all the black women in the White House are my role models since I want to go into politics :)

I like how you give extra points to educators, Mrs. Obama is a great role model who needs to be shown in all schools!
hi there, would love this for my work place,
I am a librarian, thanks for the contest
I need contact information. I cannot contact winners without email addresses.
Ari,
Exactly why I'm giving extra entries. We need contemporary, positive images of women, especially African American women in our school libraries and classrooms.
I'd like to win a copy of the book as I am a paper doll collector and have three sets of Obama paper dolls. This book would be a fun read on the topic of design that I enjoy.
If I win a copy, I would read the book and then pass it on to the librarian at the public school were I taught before I retired.
Also, I am a part time educator. I am an advisory teacher for Calvert homeschooling.
Hi Karen,
Thanks for coming by. Glad you entered.
I would like this because I would like to help spread the word (which apparently still needs to be spread) of how black is beautiful too!

I really like your blogg and would love to add you to my facebook, but unfortunately I am totally innept when it comes to moder equipment. My 3 year old grandson had to teach me how to use an ipod. He thought it was so silly that grandma couldn't work an ipod. I wanted to throw it out 0of the window. Mrs. O's book looks great. I would love a copy but if not I will buy one. Thanks Barbara Albin
Hi Barbara,
I need an email address.
I am a new teacher and would love to add this to my classroom library. It should be a fun, inspirational book to share.

As a woman and fellow lawyer I admire Ms. Obama for what she has accomplished, represents and tries to empower young women with.

I already have the book "The American Journey of Barack Obama" and this would make a great companion.

I volunteered non-stop to help get Obama in the White House and have many books about him. This would complete my collection plus my mother absolutely adores Michelle Obama.

Good luck to all. I'm very excited to host this giveaway and I'm very hopeful that educators will be among winners. I've asked and Hatchette has agreed to allow me to host a second giveaway. You are encouraged to enter at Color Online. You may win only once.
I work with teenagers in a military town. I tend not to lean toward the Obama's politically, but would like to learn more about them so I don't get caught up in all the "political" name calling which is much more personal than political. I appreciate the opportunity.
Hi Lory,
You must provide contact information in order to be eligible. Please leave your e-mail addy.
