Jory John’s Kids’ Letters To The Obamas series has two books, published nine years apart. The first, Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country, came out in 2009, and the second, I Miss You, Barack Obama, followed in 2018. Both titles center on children’s letters directed at Barack Obama.

The gap between the two releases reflects the different periods of Obama’s public life that each book covers. Reading them in publication order makes sense, as the second book’s title and timing clearly follow from the first.
