A. Lincoln and Me Worksheets

by Louise Borden

Lexile AD580L · ATOS 3.5

A boy who shares Abraham Lincoln's February 12 birthday is tall for his age, with big, clumsy hands and feet, and he never sees the wet paint until it's too late. When classmates call him names, his teacher, Mrs. Giff, tells him Lincoln had big, strong hands too, and later tells the class that people once laughed at Lincoln as well. From the shiny pennies in his pocket to the bronze statue he passes on the way home, he finds the ways he and A. Lincoln are alike, and the ways they are not. A warm Presidents' Day story about history, growing up and being proud of who you are.
