Lincoln was arguably one of the most influential presidents that served our nation. There was more to his life than just the Civil War. Lincoln was a self taught lawyer. He was a homeschooled student as a child and arguably one of the real presidents of the people. Often soft spoken, his words were none the less powerful. This book takes a look at who he was beyond the office, from his early years to glimpses of his personal life and finally his tragic death. While short, the book is informative. I love books like this for my own kids. While they are written well enough for an adult reader, they are easy enough to follow for my middle school kids. This book gives them just enough information. As a homeschool family, that's important. This is going to be a great addition to their school work this year!
