Her works, including With Courage and Cloth: Winning the Fight for a Woman's Right to Vote and Freedom Riders: John Lewis and Jim Zwerg on the Front Lines of the Civil Rights Movement, examine significant events from American history. Our Country's Presidents offers not only portraits of the men who served as leaders of the United States but also essays on the electoral college, presidential landmarks, First Ladies, the White House, and other topics. "Bausum gives a real sense of the person behind the office in every case," observed Booklist critic GraceAnne A. DeCandido, and Library Journal reviewer Karen Sutherland praised the work's "beautiful illustrations ., current information, and user-friendly layout." Bausum noted on her home page that she searches for new book ideas even before she finishes her current project. "I may not have written a single word yet," she acknowledged, "but my mind is brimming with ideas, images, facts, and visions for the form this new work will take. As much fun as the last phaseâ"and the last bookâ"have been, the unknown of what lies ahead is best of all." Ladies and Gentlemen: the next President of the United States will soon be included within the pages of one of our perennial favorites. National Geographic Children's Books will publish this fully revised and updated edition of Our Country's Presidents in time for the Inauguration of our 44th head of state, the first Presidents reference book on the market after the election. This president will follow in the footsteps of 43 predecessors who have assumed America's greatest responsibility: these men have faithfully executed their duties, they have signed treaties, addressed Congress, brokered peace, and waged war. Each has left his own indelible mark on the history of the United States and on the lives of the American people. Find out why George Washington gave up his life as a Virginia planter to lead the nation; why John Taylor was deemed "His Accidency"; walk with the presidents through wars, depressions, civil rights movements, and the space race; romp with the Garfield children in a White House pillow fight; and mourn with a nation for John F. Kennedy. This timely update will offer fascinating and comprehensive profiles of all the presidents, timelines of their administrations, historic images, and features on important aspects of their terms. A fresh cover design and informative insight about our new leader will make this volume stand apart from all other contenders, and confirm its place as the definitive family reference guide to the fascinating lives of our leaders past and present.
