This warmly told biography of our sixteenth president is enriched by many authentic but seldom told anecdotes and complemented by bold color illustrations that capture the spirit of Lincoln and his era.
 
Meet Abraham Lincoln
When Abraham Lincoln was born, slavery was an everyday part of life. Even so, Abe did not like it. Once he grew older, he worked to aid his countrymen regardless of their color. As a surveyor, Abraham Lincoln helped people inspect their land. As a lawyer, he made sure all people were treated fairly in court. But he wanted to do even more. After years of hard work, Abraham Lincoln became president of the United States and ended slavery forever.
