• Story Time: Ordinary People Changed the World – I Am Abraham Lincoln

Kids are always in search of heroes. They believe that heroes are very different from them. But if they hear the stories of real heroes as a kid, they see them as children, just like them.

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, worked on the farm when he was little and he preferred to read. He was an ordinary boy. How did he become the president?
