Book Description:
Poor Abraham Lincoln. His life was hardly fun at all. A country torn in two by war, citizens who didn't like him as president, the loss of two young sons, a homely appearance what could there possibly be to laugh about? And yet he did laugh. Although few people remember this today, he was famous for his ability to see the amusing side of life. He wasn't just one of our greatest presidents he was a comic storyteller, a joker, someone who could lighten a grim situation with a clever quip. What better way to deal with a hard life than to find a way to laugh?This unusual biography of Lincoln highlights his life and presidency while focusing on what made Lincoln's sense of humor so distinctive and so necessary to surviving his tough life and time. Husband and wife writing team Kathleen Krull (a successful writer of creative nonfiction) and Paul Brewer (humorist and illustrator) offer us a fresh way to approach our own chapter in history. Innovative illustrator Stracy Innerst adds his own twist to this portrayal of Lincoln, with artwork that is both contemporary and historically accurate.
