This biography allows young readers to see Abraham Lincoln not only as one of the most influential presidents in American history, but also as a youngster with hopes and dreams. They'll discover that young Abe so loved to read that he walked miles to borrow a book; that he lost his mother at the age of nine and bonded with his stepmother; and that he vowed never to forget the slave auction he saw when he was a teenager.

All schoolchildren learn that Lincoln went on to become a celebrated part of history, but here they'll discover the human side of the president as child, young adult, statesman, and father. Ages 5 to 8.
