Description
xThis picture book about President Barack Obama singing with a grieving nation after the Charleston church shooting "represents an important moment in U.S. history" (Kirkus Reviews).
When nine people were killed in a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015, the nation grieved as one, and when President Barack Obama sang "Amazing Grace" during his eulogy for Reverend Clementa Pinckney, it was acknowledged as one of the most powerful moments of his presidency.
Singer/songwriter Zoe Mulford was so moved that she wrote the song "The President Sang Amazing Grace," which was sung by Joan Baez and illustrated by filmmaker and painter Jeff Scher for a video that has been viewed countless times. This book presents the lyrics to the song, Scher's paintings, excerpts from Obama's eulogy, biographies of those who were killed, historical context, and sheet music.
