This treasury from documentarian Ken Burns brings the presidents to life for our nation's children. Each president is given a lushly illustrated spread with curated stories and information to give readers of all ages a comprehensive view of the varied and fascinating characters who have led our nation (with the exception of Grover Cleveland -- the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms -- who gets two spreads!). From Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase to Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Theodore Roosevelt's national parks to Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, Burns explains the importance of each presidency in ways children can appreciate.
