The Leadership Journey: How Four Kids Became President, 1st ed., Signed on Bookplate

Description

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.

Abraham Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Lyndon B. Johnson. They grew up and lived in very different worlds—Lincoln was poor and uneducated, his frontier cabin home deep in the harsh wilderness; Theodore Roosevelt hailed from an elegant home in the heart of New York City and traveled the world with his family; Franklin Roosevelt loved the outdoors surrounding his family’s rural estate where he was the center of attention; and Lyndon Johnson’s modest childhood home had no electricity or running water but provided a window into Texas politics.

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.
