Abe Lincoln’s Hat by Martha Brenner, illustrated by Brooke Smart. PICTURE BOOK. Random House, 2022. $18. 9780525647171
BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Why did Abraham Lincoln have such a tall hat? Brenner doesn’t explain why he bought that first hat, but very quickly he started using it as a place to store important papers. All through his lawyer career and judgeship, that hat stored his papers.
Brenner focuses on Lincoln’s pre-presidential year, adding dimension to his life as a lawyer and judge and a defender of human rights. When I first saw it, I was wondering why we need ANOTHER Lincoln book, but was very pleasantly surprised at the author’s focus.
