Hasan Faruq Ali, an American boy who played a young President Barack Obama in the Indonesian film “Obama Anak Menteng”, poses with the novel “Obama from Asisi” during a book launch in Obama’s former elementary school in Jakarta June 10, 2010

Indonesian writer Damien Dematra said he was inspired to write the novel after reading stories collected from teachers, friends and neighbours recounting the time when Obama lived in Indonesia between 1967-1970. Asisi is a Catholic school in Jakarta where Obama studied from 1968 – 1970
