More from our feature
on kids' drawings of the commander-in-chief:
XX Factor reader Jaclyn Young sent in this Inauguration Day
card of President Obama drawn by her 7-year-old nephew, Shane. She called
Shane to thank him for his card, with "President Obama in what looks like a pink
bathing suit on the cover." His response: "Oh yeah, the pink bikini. I had
that idea first. If anyone else says they had the idea first, they are
lying."

Another reader, Mardi Pinkney, submitted this work by her
godson, Dominic Williams-Dzirasa, age 7. When Dominic learned of Obama's
victory, he said, "You mean there has NEVER been a brown
President...EVER? That's just
strange!" He drew this to celebrate the occasion.

And this one came from a friend of mine, Ilana Lorge, who
teaches third grade in Singapore.
It's by one of her students, Alex Soikkeli.

be? Keep the submissions coming!
