Abe's Honest Words: The Life of Abraham Lincoln
Abe's Honest Words: The Life of Abraham Lincoln

by Doreen Rappaport, illustrated by Kadir Nelson

A remarkable biography of Lincoln's life that pairs lyrical prose and incredible artwork with Lincoln's own words to build a portrait of the man who became our 16th President. From backwoods boyhood, to his first view of slavery in New Orleans, the Illinois legislature, and the Civil War. (ages 8-12)
