Synopsis

How did a peanut farmer from a small town in Georgia become the 39th President of the United States? Find out in this addition to the #1 New York Times best-selling Who Was? series!

Everyone was rather surprised when small-town farmer Jimmy Carter first announced that he’d be running for president in 1976. When Jimmy told his mother, she replied, “President of what?” But this former naval officer and governor of Georgia was ready for the role.

Jimmy Carter went on to become one of America’s most beloved political figures thanks to his honesty, strong faith, and compassion. Today, Jimmy Carter is remembered for his dedication to helping Americans through his extensive work as a philanthropist. He and his wife, Rosalynn, volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, building houses for the less fortunate and inspiring others to a life of service.

Who Was Jimmy Carter? details the entire life of Jimmy Carter, beginning with his 1924 birth in Plains, Georgia. Readers will learn about his life as a peanut farmer, a Sunday school teacher, a president, a Nobel Prize winner, and more.

Goodreads review by Dan on July 05, 2022

It is amazing how much this man has accomplished in his life. Jimmy Carter is well into his nineties. He was the President of the United States but he has accomplished much more. This is a very worthwhile book to read to learn of his many accomplishments.......more

Goodreads review by Jeffrey on February 28, 2024

Cute illustrations and succinct text highlight the life and immense contributions of the last great statesman the US had as President. Anything that preserves the legacy of this important historical figure is worthwhile. Share it with the youth who need to know "politics" can be different and better......more

I did not think this book was entirely truthful. More importantly, there was so much filler I didn’t learn much about this former President. Very disappointing.......more
