An intimate book about former US president Barack Obama is set to be published.

The good news is that it has his full support.

So much so Obama has been confirmed as writing the foreword for the publication.

The book is by former White House photographer Pete Souza, and is titled ‘Obama: An Intimate Portrait.’

Souza has used his account to get a little bit political this week too. 

Following reports that the basketball team Golden State Warriors had voted not to visit the White House to celebrate their NBA championship, the former White House photographer under the Obama administration posted this photo (below) of Warriors player Steph Curry with former president Barack Obama.

Souza has known Obama for more than a decade, dating back to when Obama was a U.S. senator from Illinois. A previous book of Souza pictures, “The Rise of Barack Obama,” came out in 2008. Souza also was a White House photographer during Ronald Reagan’s administration.
