Kara and Friends Meet Abraham Lincoln is a 6-chapter, 4000-word tour de force of rhyming sentences that delves deeply into the life of America’s most beloved and courageous president. Set inside the third-grade classroom of Miss Angeline, Kara and her friends take readers on an adventure across the most important contours of Lincoln’s life. Young readers will travel to the places Lincoln lived, and they will meet the people he dearly loved. Most importantly, they will wind up their tour with an intriguing exploration into how this remarkable American used what he had – his arms (to hold books), legs (to plow the family’s farm), head (to compose great speeches) and heart (to keep a young nation from rending itself to pieces) – to help his family, himself, and his country. All illustrations were produced by elementary school children in 3D using materials such as yarn, paper cutouts, and felt and faithfully photographed for this book.
