(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Catherine Stock. Attractive watercolors bring to life this true story of the determined young woman who sculpted Abraham Lincoln's statue for the Capitol Rotunda. Sixteen-year-old Vinnie Ream was a sculptor's apprentice when the president began sitting for her, and after his death she fought for the commission to memorialize him. FitzGerald's account is accessible and inspirational. An author's note is included. Reading list, websites.
