Frank Keating takes you on an ultimate tour of Abraham Lincolns life from boyhood to presidency in this biography, which includes stunning paintings by award-winning artist Mike Wimmer that bring the sixteenth President of the United States to vivid life. To say Abraham Lincoln came from humble beginnings is an understatement. He was born in a Kentucky log cabin with a packed-dirt floor, rough slab roof, and leather-hinged door. He went barefoot for most of the year and wasnt expected to amount to much. But reading was everything to him and his free time was consumed by books. Abraham Lincoln read furiously, studied law, and knew that hard work was his only path to making a change in the world. When he ran for the presidency, he stood for unityone people and one land. He brought freedom to all citizens, ended slavery, and made the country whole again. This visual tour de force is based on historical documents and chronicles Honest Abes life from boyhood to his extraordinary leadership position as the sixteenth President of the United States of America.

Early on, though, I wasn‘t expected to amount to much. “It is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of my early life.”

My favorite thing about this book is most definitely the illustrations. They are absolutely stunning and I would want every child to see them and really appreciate them and the story.

This biography encompasses Abraham Lincolns life from childhood clear through his presidency. Along with Washington, Lincoln is one of the most easily recalled presidents by kids so it‘d be great to have such a detailed book about him. This book also has paintings of Lincoln that have won awards, and they really bring the book to life.
