Our 16th president is known for many things: He delivered
the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address.He
was tall and skinny and notoriously stern-looking. And he
also had some very strong ideas about abolishing slavery,
ideas which brought him into close contact with another very
visible public figure: Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born
a slave but escaped in 1838 and became one of the central
figures in the American abolitionist movement. This book offers a glimpse into the unusual friendship
between two great American leaders. At a time when racial
tensions were high and racial equality was not yet
established, Lincoln and Douglass formed a strong bond over
shared ideals and worked alongside each other for a common goal. The acclaimed team behind Rosa, winner of the Coretta Scott
King Award and a Caldecott Honor book, join forces once more
to portray this historic friendship at a unique moment in time.
