Readers can follow along with Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam as they walk readers through history sharing the story of Abraham Lincoln.
Readers who are fans of
comics will love going back in time to review the story of Abraham Lincoln and
his fight to free slave. From his early childhood until the last moments of his
life readers will learn about how he went from becoming an attorney until he
became president. Illustrated boxes with speech and thought balloons keep the
storyline short and sweet but still provide plenty of story to get the reader
engaged in the history of events. Side-bar commentary is shared with images of
Lady Liberty along with Uncle Sam, presented in a modern perspective, sharing
little known facts for readers to absorb.
Readers will love the illustrations
that perfectly capture the emotion of the time. Vividly colorful and extremely
detailed this graphic novel is a plus for students who aren’t fans of non-fiction.
Readers will be able to spend time on each page to take in all of the details
for a better understanding of the story. Parents and teachers can use this tool
to engage students, teach history, capture the eye of the non-reader and
discuss the wonderful man and what he did for this country.
