This week we’re reading one of my favorite Abraham Lincoln read-aloud called Just Like Abraham Lincoln by Bernard Waber. It is a well-woven story about ordinary people who find themselves brought together by a common interest. It describes some of Lincoln’s good qualities and what he may have been like. The book is a great introduction to the history and unlikely friendships.
