Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An illustrated children's book by US President Barack Obama is set to be published on November 16, announced Random House Children's Books on September 14. Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters will be Obama's final title in a three-book deal that has so far included two international best-sellers.
Illustrated by Loren Long (Watty Piper's The Little Engine That Could, Madonna's Mr. Peabody's Apples), Of Thee I Sing comprises Barack Obama's written tributes to 13 Americans, including artist Georgia O'Keeffe, baseball player Jackie Robinson, and first US President George Washington.
Barack Obama is the author of the autobiographical Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope, a book about his policy positions and values. Of Thee I Sing, which he said he was inspired to write by his daughters Malia and Sasha, is his first children's book.
Of Thee I Sing will be out in the United States on November 16. Proceeds from the US book sales will be donated to a scholarship fund for the children of fallen and disabled US soldiers.
While no international release dates are listed, Obama's previous two titles were published internationally by Random House.
