Alexandra Moran wrote a letter to President Barack Obama, which will be printed in a book of letters to the president, titled “Kids’ Letters to President Obama.” The book will be released later this month.
When a child writes a letter, it can touch your heart.
Five-year-old Alexandra Moran hopes hers will reach the president of the United States.
The Adamstown girl's letter was selected to appear in a book, "Kids' Letters to President Obama," that will be released this month.
Alexandra loves learning about history. Her parents, Patrick and Leticia Moran, saw an ad on a home-schooling website that said a national author was looking for letter submissions for the collection. They thought their daughter would enjoy writing a letter to a president.
They found out last month that hers was one of about 200 letters selected from more than 2,000 submissions.
"She's very smart and creative, so I knew she was going to come up with something different," her mother said.
Alexandra wrote to the president that she is glad his daughters aren't allergic to dogs. She wrote that she loves that he is the president. She said she would vote for him when she turns 18.
And she wrote a song in his honor, telling him she sings it while marching and holding the country's flag.
During the election, her parents took her with them into the voting booth. She now says she cannot wait until she's 18, when she can vote.
"Because I love to," she said.
Her parents think that the president's daughters actually have some allergies to dogs, but they know Alexandra can relate to a new pet because their family also has a dog.
Alexandra loves learning about history, especially the presidents and the Civil War.
She rattles off the names of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln with excitement.
Her parents are planning a trip to the White House for the first time this year with a group of family and friends.
Her father is the recycling manager for the U.S. House of Representatives, and her mother home-schools Alexandra.
Patrick Moran hopes that his daughter will learn from her selection in the book.
"I think maybe it will teach her that you can actually write to politicians and somebody will hear you," he said.
