The latest Indonesian book about
Barack Obama was launched in Jakarta on
Monday, the week before the US President is scheduled to arrive in Indonesia.
The book titled "Obama Anak
Menteng" ("Obama The Menteng Kid") was written by
Damien Dematra. During a launching at Obama's former elementary school in Menteng, Damien said he hoped the book would
inspire Indonesian children to dare to dream.Obama was successful “because of the
power of dreams," he told Trijaya radio.
Damien wrote the 206 page book in
five days after spending two weeks interviewing Obama's childhood friends and relatives in Indonesia. He said the book would
be made into a movie in June.
Several books have been written
about Obama in Indonesia. The US leader spent part of his childhood in Menteng
after his mother married an Indonesian.
