Finding Lincoln

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Colin Bootman. A class assignment makes African American Louis curious to know more about Abraham Lincoln as a boy. It's the segregated South, and Louis is denied entrance to the library. However, a kind white librarian helps him complete his task. The sequence of events isn't totally convincing, leading up to a rather pat ending. Bootman's warm-hued paintings add life to the tale. Reading list.
