""A solid exploration of the path from childhood to presidency.""--Kirkus Reviews ""Readers... will be rewarded by four dramatic, well-told stories of men driven as much by the ideals of service to their country and its citizens as by personal ambition."" --Booklist ""The included stories... pack a punch and include a wealth of information.""--Publishers Weekly ""This book is essential."" --School Library Journal ""I love this book. I love everything about it. I love the drawings. I love the detail. I love the simplicity of the writing and... the big picture of it."" --Tony Dokoupil, host of CBS Mornings

Author Information

Doris Kearns Goodwin's work for President Johnson inspired her career as a presidential historian. Her first book was Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. She followed up with the Pulitzer Prize-winning No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Homefront in World War II. She earned the Lincoln Prize for Team of Rivals, in part the basis for Steven Spielberg's film Lincoln, and the Carnegie Medal for The Bully Pulpit, about the friendship between Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Her bestselling Leadership: In Turbulent Times was the inspiration for the History Channel docuseries on Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt, which she executive produced. Her most recent book, An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s, provides a front-row seat to the pivotal people--JFK, LBJ, RFK, and MLK--and events of this momentous decade. Amy June Bates has illustrated books including the Sam the Man series; Sweet Dreams and That's What I'd Do, both by singer-songwriter Jewel; and Waiting for the Magic by Patricia MacLachlan. She is the author-illustrator of The Big Umbrella, about which Booklist raved, ""A boundlessly inclusive spirit...This open-ended picture book creates a natural springboard for discussion."" She lives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, with her husband and three children.
