A. Lincoln and Me

Skinny as a beanpole and tall for his age, an awkward young boy learns that Abraham Lincoln was often called ³gorilla² and ³backward hick² by his peers. Yet along with big hands and big feet, Lincoln had the amazing gift to lead a nation through a troubled time. The poetic story by Louise Borden and magnificent paintings by Caldecott Honor recipient Ted Lewin introduce young children to a wonderful boy and a great president.
