Lincoln and His Boys

<< Prev page

Rosemary Wells
Illustrated by P.J. Lynch

Considering the political information bombarding us at any given time, one has to wonder what our children think about the state of our government. To many, politics must seem like a truly distasteful and often impotent and corrupt place to stand up for what you believe is right.

It is important that our children learn about people who have made their mark on history not as a result of their associations with Big Interests and lobbyists, but rather for taking hard stands to make life better for as many people as possible. It helps to know that these public servants paced the floor, lost sleep, and sometimes went through their own versions of hell to pursue a vision with integrity.

Lincoln and His Boys is a wonderful book for a number of reasons, but perhaps the most meaningful to our children will be that it shows Lincoln's humanness. He adored his 4 sons (we usually only hear about Willie and Tad), and apparently it never occurred to him to separate his role as a father from his role as President.

Told through the eyes of his children, the book takes us to places like Willie's first train ride, Tad and Willie's appearances at Cabinet meetings, and Tad's journey with his father to Richmond just after the South's defeat. Over and over, we see Lincoln's human side—his delight in his children, some of the family's dynamics, and the emotional price he pays for putting everything he has toward the good of his country.

Illustrated in P.J. Lynch's remarkably rich and detailed style, this book will make President Lincoln come alive for our children, giving them a taste of why history considers him a true gift to our nation.

International Shipping:

We hope to offer you international ordering online soon. In the meantime, you may call 619-670-5200, fax 619-670-5203, or email us at customerservice@chinaberry.net with your order to find out what your shipping charge would be. If you are having your order shipped internationally, UPS requires that you include a phone number for them to contact for delivery information.

We ship international orders (except Canadian) via Air Express only. While this ensures your order will arrive very quickly (within one week), it is also very expensive. (Shipping generally begins at about $65.00 for a one pound package and goes up with weight.)

As an affordable alternative, many of our international customers have their orders shipped to a friend or relative in the U.S who will forward the orders on to them.
