Doris Kearns Goodwin, presidential historian, international keynote speaker, Pulitzer Prize-winning, New York Times #1 best-selling author brings us her first book for young readers, The Leadership Journey: How Four Kids Grew Up to Become President.
Abraham Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Lyndon B. Johnson. They grew up and lived in very different worlds-Lincoln in a frontier cabin home deep in the harsh wilderness; Theodore Roosevelt an elegant home in the heart of New York City; Franklin Roosevelt in Hyde Park, about 50 miles north of New York City; and Lyndon Johnson in the Hill Country of Texas. Only the Roosevelt homes had indoor plumbing.
So how did each of them do it—rise to become President of the United States? What did these four kids have individually—and have in common—that made them the ones to lead the country through some of its most turbulent times?
Recommended for 8-12 year old readers.
