The young narrator of this story shares his birthday with Abraham Lincoln, has the same tall, lanky frame with big hands and feet, and gets teased at school similar to the way Lincoln was criticized by the public centuries ago. For these reasons, the young boy likens himself to the legendary president and imagines what it would be like if Lincoln were still around, solving the problems of today's America.


The reissue of this poetic, boldly drawn picture book is just in time for Lincoln's 200th birthday!
