What do you know about the 44th president of the United States? In Barack Obama for kids, you will learn that Obama was the only president to be born in Hawaii. In addition, he was the first African American to be elected as president of the United States. You'll also learn a whole lot more.

Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, but he spent the early years of his childhood in Indonesia. When he was 10 years old, he returned to Hawaii and lived with his maternal grandparents. He adopted the nickname, Barry, when he was young. And as a teenager, he worked at a Baskin Robbins ice cream store. But today, he doesn't even eat ice cream!

For two years, Obama attended Occidental College before transferring to Columbia University. He graduated in 1983 with a degree in political science. Five years later, he went to law school at Harvard and became the first African American editor of Harvard Law Review. He later became a civil rights lawyer and part-time professor at Chicago Law School.

Barack Obama is part of the Democratic political party. He ran for office in the Illinois state senate and worked with Republicans and Democrats to draft legislation that addressed social issue like expanding health care. He later won a seat in the U.S. Senate. In February of 2007, he announced he would run for president, and he won! Four years later, he won re-election. So he served as president of the United States for two terms.
