Illustrated by
Ted Lewin.
In an unusual approach to celebrating the individuality of all humans and fostering understanding of a larger-than-life historical figure, a boy who shares Abraham Lincoln's birthday draws parallels between his own personality and abilities and that of the revered American president. Full-color paintings depict action in the present while charcoal sketches depict Mr. Lincoln himself.
