We can all be heroes. That's the inspiring message of this lively, collectible picture book biography series from New York Times–bestselling author Brad Meltzer.

Each book tells the story of an American icon in an entertaining, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and focuses on a particular character trait that makes that role model heroic. This engaging series is the perfect way to bring American history to life for young children and inspire them to strive and dream.

This book follows Abraham Lincoln from childhood to the presidency, including the Civil War and his legendary Gettysburg Address. Lincoln always spoke up about fairness, and he led the country to abolish slavery.
