This is a great little picture book which outlines the childhood of Abraham Lincoln. It has the ability to really show kids how its okay that they might not "fit" in the way that their parents or family might expect them to. During Lincoln's childhood, he and his family went through a lot of change, loss, and hard work, and he turned it into something incredibly successful as an adult.
I love the way that the book is written. Words are arranged in a poetry format, but do not rhyme like standard poetry. The illustrations are beautiful and really help students to increase their comprehension of the text.
