I am blown away by Kadir Nelson's illustrations. Not just in this book but every time I look at them. Beautiful. Truthful. Honest. Stunning. I absolutely resolve to read any books with him as an illustrator. This book was excellent.

Another book on Lincoln. And yet a different spin. It's got a lot of information but it really is a picture book and isn't overwhelmed by the text. In this we get a feel for who Lincoln was. As a reader, as a writer as a leader. With good enough big full page art.

Once again Kadir Nelson's illustrations are stunning. Of all the books coming out for Lincoln's 200th birthday this is my pick.

What can I say...it's Doreen Rappaport and Kadir Nelson. What incredible and stunning paintings by Nelson. And Rappaport strings together historical information with Lincoln's words in supporting text.
