Las honestas palabras de Abraham

Told in Doreen Rappaport's accessible, absorbing prose, and brought to life in powerful illustrations by Kadir Nelson, Abe's Honest Words is an epic portrait of a truly great American president. From the time he was a young boy roaming the forests of the unsettled Midwest, Abraham Lincoln knew in his heart that slavery was deeply wrong. A voracious reader, Lincoln spent every spare moment of his days filling his mind with knowledge, from history to literature to mathematics, preparing himself to one day lead the country he loved towards greater equality and prosperity. Despite the obstacles he faced as a self-educated man from the back woods, Lincoln persevered in his political career, and his compassion and honesty gradually earned him the trust of many Americans. As president, he guided the nation through a long and bitter civil war and penned the document that would lead to the end of slavery in the United States.

Spanish Description: Contado en la prosa accesible y absorbente de Doreen Rappaport, y cobrando vida con poderosas ilustraciones de Kadir Nelson, Abe's Honest Words es un retrato épico de un gran presidente estadounidense. Desde que era un niño que vagaba por los bosques del inestable Medio Oeste, Abraham Lincoln supo en su corazón que la esclavitud estaba profundamente mal. Lincoln, un lector voraz, pasó cada momento libre de sus días llenando su mente de conocimientos, desde historia hasta literatura y matemáticas, preparándose para algún día liderar el país que amaba hacia una mayor igualdad y prosperidad. A pesar de los obstáculos que enfrentó como hombre autodidacta de los bosques, Lincoln perseveró en su carrera política, y su compasión y honestidad le ganaron gradualmente la confianza de muchos estadounidenses. Como presidente, guió a la nación a través de una larga y amarga guerra civil y redactó el documento que conduciría al fin de la esclavitud en Estados Unidos.
