The booklet contains black-and-white photographs of a young JFK with his family and participating in athletic activities, emphasizing his upbringing among the Kennedy family and his involvement in sports during his youth.

This booklet may have been distributed in association with Kennedy’s presidential campaign or during his presidency as part of a wider effort to promote his all-American image.
