Tad Lincoln' s restless wriggle just wouldn' t quit, much to the delight of his father President Abraham Lincoln -- but not so much to anybody else! This picture book is based on the famous first son who, despite a disability and other challenges, had compassion, intelligence, and wisdom beyond his years. Tad Lincoln' s boundless energy annoyed almost everyone but his father, President Abraham Lincoln. But Tad put that energy to good use during the tough times of the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln guided Tad' s wriggle on visits to hospitals, to the telegraph office, and to army camps. Tad greeted visitors, raised money for bandages, and kept his father company late into the night. This special and patient bond between father and son was plain to see, and before long, Tad had wriggled his way into the hearts of others as well. Beth Anderson and S. D. Schindler follow Tad' s antics during the Civil War to uncover the generous heart and joyful spirit that powered Tad' s restless wriggle.
"Anderson' s lively text offers anecdotes along with insights into how Tad' s high-spirited escapades may have given Lincoln welcome relief from his weighty responsibilities. Created using ink, watercolor, and gouache, Schindler' s lively illustrations bring a lesser-known White House resident to life within a distinctive period setting. A vivid introduction to Tad Lincoln. " -Booklist "Learn about the Lincoln family through the life of their youngest child. . . the story' s strength lies in its quiet depictions of Abraham Lincoln and his wry humor that many children' s history books ignore. The fine-lined and delicately colored illustrations capture the energy of the day and don' t sugarcoat the Whiteness of Lincoln' s world; most of the Black characters depicted are servants. Readers fascinated by this glimpse into Tad' s story will want to know more, and caregivers and educators will delight in the extensive bibliography and source notes that will aid that exploration. A lively glimpse into the Lincoln home. " -Kirkus Reviews
