Mr. President, Meet Mr. Ohno


Barack Obama and Apolo Ohno are two of the 16 individuals profiled in our new 16 Extraordinary Multiracial Americans. It's the latest release in our (now 11-title) Extraordinary Americans series.


Like the other titles in the series, 16 Extraordinary Multiracial Americans contains 16 easy-to-read biographies, each including extension activities, background notes, a vocabulary list, references, and more. They're known as "hi-lo readers" -- high content, low readability level. As American society becomes more multiracial and more diverse, titles such as these help strugling readers understand the value and promise of our changing demographic landscape. (Oh and by the way, they're fun to read!)
