Based on a little-known tale from Abraham Lincolns childhood, this charming picture book written by debut author Shari Swanson and illustrated by acclaimed artist Chuck Groenink tells a classic story of a boy, his dog, and a daring rescue.Deeply researched and charmingly told, this is the true story of one extra-special childhood rescue-a dog named Honey.Long before Abraham Lincoln led the nation or signed the Emancipation Proclamation, he was just a barefoot kid running around Knob Creek, Kentucky, setting animals free from traps and snatching frogs out of the jaws of snakes.One day, young Abe found a stray dog with a broken leg and named him Honey. He had no idea that the scruffy pup would find his way into Abes heart, become his best friend, and-one fateful day-save his life.Whether shared at home or in the classroom, this is a good choice for young readers interested in true stories of U.S. presidents.* Junior Library Guild Selection * 2021 Treasure State Award Finalist (Montana) * Bank Street Colleges Best Books of the Year for 2021 (Ages 5-9 History) * 2022 Kentucky Bluegrass Award Winner (K-2) *
