Abraham Lincoln Comes Home

32 pp. | Holt | August, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-7529-8 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendell Minor. Luke and his father travel into the night to meet the funeral train carrying Abraham Lincoln's body. They join hundreds of solemn people who come to mourn the fallen president at stops along the way to Illinois. Burleigh's solid text and Minor's gouache watercolor illustrations capture the somber mood and provide a fitting backdrop for the 1865 setting. Factual information is appended.
