It’s good to be an Obama — or at least related to one. Candlewick Press announced today that they’ve agreed to publish a book by Maya Soetoro-Ng, President Barack Obama’s schoolteacher half-sister.

The book, entitled Ladder to the Moon, was reportedly inspired by Soetoro-Ng and Obama’s mother and the author’s own daughter. Here’s the press information, via Politico:

"Ladder to the Moon, Maya Soetoro-Ng’s first book, is inspired by Maya and Barack’s mother as well as by Maya’s four-year-old daughter. What lessons, the author wonders, might her daughter have learned from her grandmother had the two ever met? In Ladder to the Moon, Maya Soetoro-Ng pays homage to her mother’s tradition of storytelling — and celebrates her mother’s enduring legacy of service — with an unforgettable story of love and compassion being passed along generations.

"Brimming with the beauty and magic of the night, Ladder to the Moon is a modern-day fable that will charm readers of any generation with its lush prose and timeless message about discovering one’s own strength."

There’s no publication date as of yet, nor are any of the deal’s financial details being released. Regardless, we’re sure Soetoro-Ng’s book will do well. Even if it doesn’t, she’ll no doubt have at least two sales: Sasha and Malia Obama.
