Presidential Biographies

Books about US Presidents

It is Presidents Day!! 

We love biographies. A few years ago Grace challenged herself to read a book about every U.S. President. She has a ways to go on her challenge, but she has read quite a few so far. 

We put together a list of her favorite Presidential biographies. You might not agree with the politics of every president, but there is always something to learn about things like leadership, hardship, war, community, and family. 

Becoming a President takes hard work, determination, education, and the ability to connect in some way with the American people. No matter your view on politics, there is something to be learned about the journey each U.S. President takes to the White House. 

We are sharing a few of our favorites. We would love to hear yours. Leave a comment letting us know your favorite book about a U.S. President or U.S. Presidents.
