Abe's Honest Words: The Life of Abraham Lincoln provides an overview of Lincoln's life, from his childhood to his death. Author Doreen Rappaport uses Lincoln's own quotations to complement her brief biography and emphasize his feelings about slavery, education and other issues important to the United States. Dramatic paintings by award-winning artist Kadir Nelson add greatly to the book's impact. There are a number of valuable resources at the end of the book: an annotated list of important dates, a recommended reading list of children's books about Abraham Lincoln, recommended Web sites, selected research sources, and the complete text of Lincoln's Gettyburg address.
