(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kadir Nelson. In spare language, Rappaport describes turning points in Lincoln's life, accompanied by excerpts from his speeches. Big events receive eloquent quotes while other aspects (e.g., his constant reading) are punctuated with plainer speech. Some of Nelson's handsome portraits glow with background light and luminous tones; at other times, he portrays an unassuming man. The Gettysburg Address completes the book. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib.
