MY DAD, JOHN MCCAIN

The remarkable personal history of Republican presidential candidate John McCain is brought to life in MY DAD, JOHN McCAIN, an inspiring picture book biography written by his daughter, Meghan McCain. From his capture as a prisoner of war, to his role as loving husband and father, to being chosen as the Republican nominee in this year’s presidential election, MY DAD, JOHN McCAIN brings the story of a living legend to the page for children of all ages.
With detailed illustrations, MY DAD, JOHN McCAIN captures the sense of legacy that shaped the young John McCain:

It was his passion for flying and for his country that led to one of the most defining experiences of McCain’s life: his capture as a POW during Vietnam. MY DAD, JOHN McCAIN reveals McCain’s plight in Vietnam to be an incredible example of patriotism and leadership:
My dad got a chance most prisoners didn’t. Since he was an admiral’s son, the Vietnamese who had captured him said they would let him go home. My dad was sick, hurt, and scared. But he knew there were some things more important than himself – like his faith in God, his country, and the men he served with. My dad wouldn’t go home and leave his friends. I think only a great man would have made choice.
More than just the story of one man’s heroic life, MY DAD, JOHN McCAIN teaches young readers to never give up, follow their dreams, and most of all, to love their country – messages that will inspire children for generations to come.
