Overview

Born the son and grandson of military men, Senator John McCain from Arizona was destined for a life serving his country in the armed forces. Like many great men, he occasionally struggled with authority, but once he found his true calling — flying naval aircraft — his ideals and commitment to his country took him far.

From the low point of five years as a prisoner of war to the high points of raising a large, happy family and being chosen as the Republican nominee in the 2008 presidential election, Senator McCain has lived an incredible life driven by a love of his country and a desire to serve it to the best of his ...

Overview

This picture book biography, written with great love and insight by his oldest daughter, writer Meghan McCain, shows us the public John McCain and the personal John McCain in a way we've never seen before — making this American hero come to life before young eyes.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

In this biography, Meghan McCain offers an affectionate portrait of her father, U.S. Senator John McCain, the Republican candidate for president in 2008. A very personal view of a war hero, prisoner of war, and public servant. Artist Dan Andreasen has illustrated numerous popular children's books, including River Boy and Pioneer Girl.

Publishers Weekly

No one would expect John and Cindy McCain's oldest daughter to be objective-on the other hand, some personal touch would have been nice. She does talk a lot about family, that is, about the wartime services of McCain ancestors, all the way back to the Revolutionary War; McCain's pedigree as the son and grandson of admirals; the military duty of two McCain sons. Given this emphasis, it's odd to have omitted any mention of McCain's first family; it's not as if the concepts of ex-wives and half-sisters are unfamiliar to the target audience. The one truly moving section details McCain's heroism under captivity in North Vietnam; the rest succumbs to an apple-pie variety of blandness. Meghan McCain discloses that her father loves his country and also that he "never gives up," whether he's playing on the boarding school football team or "fighting for what he believes in." Andreasen (Pilot Pups) steeps his accomplished, mostly realistic pictures in nostalgia: cross-hatching suggests old-time engraving, while burnished tones hint at antiqued colors. A number of spreads represent photos and newspapers-the effect is oddly distancing, as if Meghan McCain were flipping through someone else's scrapbook. Ages 5-10. (Sept.)

Children's Literature

Written by John McCain's oldest child from his second marriage, this tribute is predictably loving and glowing. Apart from the obvious devotion, the book could have been written by anyone since it tells the well-known facts of his life, such as the McCain family military background, McCain's own experience in the military, his election as senator of Arizona, his first unsuccessful run for his party's nomination, and finally his nomination by the Republican party in 2008. We are repeatedly told that he just does not give up and that he is a good man, but the book remains a little bland, falling short of the vibrancy and energy that some readers might like to see. The story quality would have benefited from some actual family experiences or humorous anecdotes, something that would make McCain, the man, stand out and give McCain, the author, a reason to write the book. The illustrations are very attractive, old-fashioned, and quiet, almost pensive, accurately reflecting the text. Reviewer: Kathryn Erskine

Kirkus Reviews

The Republican nominee's eldest daughter announces at the outset that her dad would make a great president and then proceeds to explain why. Recapping in broad strokes his schooling, his military career, his years of captivity in Vietnam and his entry into politics, she highlights his courage, his patriotism and most especially his bulldog refusal to give up when faced with adversity or reversals of fortune. Conveying tone more than action, Andreasen's honey-hued, full-bleed paintings interleaf static re-creations of major incidents with reproductions of snapshots, medals and significant artifacts, along with portraits viewed from low angles to give their subject an evocatively larger-than-life air. Children won't learn anything about the candidate's take on significant issues, his day-to-day work or even what his overall goals are, but they will come away appreciating his strength of character-whether or not they (or their parents) buy the author's argument that that's enough for presidential greatness.

Interviews & Essays

A Conversation with Meghan McCain

Q: You've been very busy on the campaign trail. Why did you decide to write this book?

A: When Simon and Schuster approached me to write a children's book about my dad's life, I initially thought I wouldn't be very good at it and so wasn't inclined to move forward. However, after giving it some additional thought and thinking about how powerful my dad's story is, I realized that this could be a great opportunity to communicate that story of patriotism and bravery to younger Americans in a way that would be accessible and that they might appreciate.

Q: What do you hope kids will take away from reading this book?

A: I believe that kids will, first of all, be captivated by this book because it is a great adventure story. I also hope that they are inspired by my father's service and sacrifice to his country. It is an incredibly patriotic story, and it has always been an inspiration to me. I hope that kids will also take away the message of the importance of service to others and to country, whether it be in the military, elected office, or getting involved in your community.

Q: In the process of writing the book, what did you learn about your father that you didn't know already?

A: I'm not so sure that it was learning things I didn't know, as much as it was developing a deeper appreciation for the story I'd heard so many times before.

Q: What do you find most inspiring about your dad?

A: His passion for this country is the most inspiring thing about my dad. Almost his entire life has been dedicated to serving this country and trying to make its future better for all Americans.

Q: Do you have any intention of entering the political arena?

A: No, never.

Q: After the campaign is over, do you have any aspirations to write more books?

A: Yes, I have thought about writing an account of what my life has been like on the trail. There are many stories that simply didn't fit into the medium of the blog I write, and there's certainly enough material there to be able to sit down and try to work it into a novel.

Q: How did you decide to use the illustrator Dan Andreasen? Can you tell us a little bit about the process of matching illustrations with the text? How were you involved in that process?

A: Dan Andreasen is an incredible artist, and he has done a spectacular job illustrating my book. I like his fluidity with his illustrations, and his use of watercolor adds a more poetic quality than straightforward illustrations would have. Matching the illustrations with the text is somewhat difficult, especially given some of the intense material in the book. It is not easy to illustrate my father's experience in prison and not make it too scary for children. Most of the pictures are laid out as if I were retelling the story to my own children using old photographs and objects (such as a coffee cup and a Blackberry) surrounding me. I was closely involved with the illustration process. In fact, the cover is derived from one of my favorite pictures of me and my father, when I was a child. The photo on the back of the book was taken by my dear friend and McCainBlogette photographer, Heather Brand.

Beautiful book!

At first I was taken back because the other 'children' of McCain weren't a part of this book, but as another reviewer said....they are welcome to do the same thing. This is written by a girl very proud of her father and his accomplishments. I suggest everyone give this book a chance as 'good read' because no matter what...this man did something for our country and should be honored for it. I think ALL politics should be put aside when reading this book.

Democrat who enjoyed this book!

A good story for kids regarding the struggles this man has made. Not a political building up like the Obama kids books are trying to sell. I am a democrat and enjoyed reading this book with my children and classroom. Amazing how even the left 'editor reviews' can't give it a nice nod without making a jab. It is good for kids and a note to those who are upset over the author not mentioning the step sibs- as a member of a blended family, I am fully aware as are they,that they are capable of pushing their own agenda as much as I am. I don't need to speak for them or mention them when talking to others unless it is relevant to the topic at hand. Good book for kids to read and don't let the left handed comments by left readers or by left media sway your decision to buy this book. Lots of good content on McCain and his family history in the military as well without pushing a political agenda down your child's throat.

Not written by Mr. McCain's oldest daughter

The publisher tells us that the book is written by Mr. McCain's 'oldest daughter, writer Meghan McCain'. Mr. McCain's oldest daughter is not Meghan, but Sidney McCain, born in 1966. As a personal look into Mr. McCain's life history, it is curious that the book reads as if Mr. McCain's first family never existed. I would not recommend this book because it selectively highlights Mr. McCain's story in a way that makes it less accurate, and less rich.

A Touching Story of a Real Dad

This is a touching story of a true American hero who is a dad above all else. How refreshing that it was not written by a 'ghost writer' and is an authentically told recollection of an admired character builder.

I Respect John McCain

Whether you share his political views or not, you cannot come away from this book and not respect his character. His daughter writes in a way that's somewhat disconnected, probably to make her point that this account is very objective and not biased. I'm convinced he loves this country and will work hard to see it's future remains bright.

My elementary students could write better than this!

This is arguably the single-most boring book I have ever read. Not to mention, the illustrations don't even remotely resemble McCain. It seems to be a hasty effort to compete with Obama's picture book, which my students loved and I found to be 'outstanding.' Since I now own the book, I think I will save it for a lesson around Father's Day. That might have been a better time to release this publication.

Politics out!

I bought this for my kids because they have heard about John McCain, and I am glad there was presented a 'child friendly' way to explain his not so child friendly experiences. Why do mean spirited people have to spew their venom all over everything? I get it 'a reviewer, a teacher', you want us all to know you hate McCain and Republicans..If the AFT and the NEA wanted you to support a martian for President, you'd tell us how much you hate earthlings..

An excellent book about a man with character ...

I highly recommend this book for young people as an excellent source of teaching character, principles and strength. There are far too few real heroes but John McCain is exactly that. Kudos to Meghan McCain for writing a book young people can understand. Beautifully illustrated. A must for homes with young children and libraries. I will present this book to many children this Christmas season.
