About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to ask questions about leadership, historical heroes, or what it means to be a person of integrity. While the story is an imaginative time-travel adventure, it focuses on the human side of Abraham Lincoln, showing him as a father and a leader burdened by the weight of war. It is a perfect choice for kids who may feel intimidated by history textbooks but have a natural curiosity about the past. Jack and Annie's mission to save a magic penguin requires bravery and teamwork, modeling how even young children can make a difference. The book is developmentally appropriate for early elementary readers, offering a gentle introduction to the Civil War era without becoming overly graphic or heavy, making it an excellent bridge between pure fantasy and historical learning.
