This book is an account of John McCain’s life, as told by his daughter Meghan. It tells the story of his personal life events from his days of fighting for his country and being held as a prisoner of war, to getting married and having four children. His daughter shares her father’s best traits in this book, including his perseverance, and genuine love for his country. This insightful look into John McCain’s life makes the reader feel as if they’ve known him for years.
After reading this book with my class, I would have the students think about someone that they think should run for President. They would then list the characteristics of this person that makes he/she a good presidential candidate. I would then have the students write a presidential slogan for the person that they are nominating. From there we could even talk about the process of running for certain offices. A follow up book that I think would be cool to read is “My Teacher for President” by Kay Winters.
