Abe Lincoln Gets His Chance

"Abe Lincoln Gets His Chance" by Frances Cavanah is a children's story set in the late 20th century, that takes us back to Abraham Lincoln's early days, seen through the eyes of his cousin, Dennis Hanks. It paints a picture of his life as a child, growing up in a close family of pioneers, showing both their joys and struggles, like when they moved to Indiana. From the start, we see Abe's eagerness to learn and the strong ties within his family, hinting at the person he would become, a remarkable leader emerging from a humble background of early America.
