Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A fresh and heartwarming story about Abraham Lincoln and the young girl who inspired his signature beard.Abraham Lincoln is one of the most recognizable people, let alone presidents, in the history of the United States. Perhaps it's because his face can be seen everywhere from the $5 bill in your wallet and the penny in your pocket to national monuments across the country. Or maybe it's simply because of his signature beard. Could you ever picture Lincoln without it? I bet you would never guess that there is one little girl in particular to thank for Lincoln's beard.LINCOLN AND GRACE is the story of Grace Bedell--the eleven-year-old who got a President to listen to her advice. In addition to learning the fascinating true story behind Lincoln's beard, children will love it because it shows that one voice--even one as small as their own--can matter.
Eleven-year-old Grace Bedell really liked presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln, but she thought he was missing one thing: a beard! So she wrote him a letter to tell him just that. One beard and one election later, Abraham Lincoln became the president of the United States of America. This is the story of how one little letter and one little girl changed history.
