Barry, a young man that went through times of sadness and joy. He was sad because he wasn't able to see his dad as much as he wanted, seeing people who were homeless, and being torn with who he was. He was happy when he played basketball with his friends, or got to see and talk to his father, but he still felt sad when he saw people struggling; the yearning to want to help them and change the world. The one thing that kept him going was hope. Hope continued to encourage him and push him into the powerful and world changing man he is today, Barack Obama. With hope and the support of people that believed in him, he is now president of the United States of America; Hope equals "Yes We Can!"
I would read this book to the students and have them to describe what "hope" meant to them. They would then draw a picture to represent their idea of "hope" and around the picture things or people that give them hope.
