Change We Can Believe In outlines Barack Obama's proposals to change the direction of our country. In Denver, he said we cannot turn back –not with so much work to be done. As the candidates debate the nature of change, this book provides a clear statement of the future path Obama envisions.

Challenging in that they call for reform in exchange for additional resources, and hold us all responsible – teachers, students, parents, government, and the community. These are the specifics for change that will help our kids.
