Book Description
There was one BIG PROMISE the President made to his daughters along the campaign trail and that was to get them a DOG if he was elected to become the 44th President. That day came and as we all know-the rest is history! It was a great surprise to everyone, all around the world, when the President announced on National TV that BO would be joining the first family at the White House. Now we could only imagine what kind of dog they might choose. It was a Portuguese Water Dog! But we all do know that with a new dog comes a lot of responsibilities, not to mention, training along with much added excitement.

Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The former First Lady, author of Becoming, and producer and star of Waffles + Mochi tells the inspirational story of the White House Kitchen Garden and how gardens can transform our lives and the health of our communities. Early in her tenure as First Lady, despite being a novice gardener, Michelle Obama planted a kitchen garden on the White House’s South Lawn. To her delight, she watched as fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs sprouted from the ground. Soon the White House Kitchen Garden inspired a new conversation all across the country about the food we feed our families and the impact it has on the nutrition and well-being of our children. In American Grown, Mrs. Obama invites you inside the White House Kitchen Garden, from the first planting to the satisfaction of the seasonal harvest. She reveals her early worries and struggles—would the new plants even grow?—and her joy as lettuce, corn, tomatoes, collards and kale, sweet potatoes and rhubarb flourished in the freshly tilled soil. She shares the stories of other gardens that have moved and inspired her on her journey across the nation. And she offers what she learned about planting your own backyard, school, or community garden. American Grown features: • a behind-the-scenes look at every season of the garden’s growth • unique recipes created by White House chefs • striking original photographs that bring the White House garden to life • a fascinating history of community gardens in the United States From a modern-day vegetable truck that brings fresh produce to underserved communities in Chicago, to Houston office workers who make the sidewalk bloom, to a New York City school that created a scented garden for the visually impaired, to a garden in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, that devotes its entire harvest to those less fortunate, American Grown isn’t just the story of a single garden. It’s a celebration of the bounty of our nation and a reminder of what we can all grow together.

Book Description
Set within the resilient Great Plains, these stories are marked by the region's people, landscape, and the distinctive way it is both regressive in its politics yet also stumbling toward something better. While not all stories are explicitly set in Oklahoma, the state is almost a character—neither protagonist nor antagonist—but instead the weird next-door-neighbor you're perhaps too ashamed of to take anywhere. Who is the embarrassing one—you or Oklahoma? Dinah Cox lives in her hometown of Stillwater, Oklahoma, where she teaches in the English department at Oklahoma State University and is an associate editor at Cimarron Review.

And from the moment Portuguese water dog Bo Obama was officially introduced to the nation—in front of the largest press pool since Queen Elizabeth’s state visit in 2007!— reporters everywhere have been trying to get the scoop on America’s top dog. Now, through a special loophole in the Freedom of Information Act (apparently dogs aren’t covered), citizens of the world can see the White House in a whole new way! Open the secret files of America’s First Top Dog to get a highly classified and highly entertaining knee-high glimpse of life in the White House, all told in first-pooch point of view. Following in the rich tradition of such renowned presidential pets as FDR’s Scottish terrier Fala, Harding’s Airedale, George HW Bush’s Millie, and the Clintons’ cat Socks, Bo Obama will surely be making headlines for the next 4-to-8 years!
