JUNEAU, Alaska – You might call it Sarah Palin's introduction to the cubs.

A biography of the former Alaska governor and self-described "mama grizzly" is set for release in September by Christian book publisher Zondervan.

"Speaking Up: The Sarah Palin Story," is one in a series of biographies aimed at 9- to 12-year-old readers. Others feature 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and U2 frontman Bono.

Kathleen Kerr, an acquisitions editor for Zondervan's Zonderkidz division, said the subjects are prominent figures who children hear about in the news and role models for tweens who are "working for the betterment of the world in which we live and who are motivated primarily by their Christian faith."

It worked with Quayle...it worked with Gingrich....it worked with "It's all Bush's fault"................

The 'rat modus continues - and the compliant media continues with it's fellation.

Gee, I dunno. I think politician’s kiddie biography and I think back to the two North Korean-style, cult of personality, illustrated kiddie books about The One.

Then I whoop my cookies.

>> “working for the betterment of the world in which we live and who are motivated primarily by their Christian faith.”

Okay, Palin and Tebow, I get. And wholeheartedly approve.

I wonder if our school library will acquire a copy. We have a bio of Rosanne Barr, of all people, in there, along with other entertainers and such. I must say, though, the kids actually usually make pretty good book selections, and Rosanne has been sitting on the shelf for a very long time.

All righty.

Let’s just see you try reading the recent children’s classics: “Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope” and “Barack” and see if YOU can keep your lunch from coming back up.

Could be grooming 2020 and 2024 first time voters.

From the 26th Amendment, ratified July 1, 1971...

“The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.”

http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_amendments_11-27.html#26

So 12 year olds can vote in 2016 (for Palin’s first or second term?) and the 9 year olds in 2019 in time for 2020. . . I think this a good move on Sarah’s part.

I seem to recall reading that Obama’s speeches were intentionally written at an 8th grade level.
