Summary |
"From New York Times bestselling author and news anchor Raymond Arroyo comes a picture book biography of Tad Lincoln and his father President Abraham Lincoln and a story about a father's love for his son and the wisdom of a child. Tad Lincoln was forever getting into trouble. He bounced around the White House making mischief and annoying the staff. Only President Lincoln was never annoyed--he delighted in his son's antics. Tad was his father's joy and comfort in the midst of a brutal war, a family tragedy, and the toll of holding the nation's highest office. When Tad befriends a turkey who is meant to be Thanksgiving dinner, his plea for his pet to be spared teaches his father a lesson about mercy and starts the tradition of the Thanksgiving turkey pardon, a tradition that presidents carry on to this day"-- Provided by publisher. |
