The Leadership Journey: How Four Kids Became President by Doris Kearns Goodwin H

Description: The Leadership Journey by Doris Kearns Goodwin, Amy June Bates A New York Times bestseller! From #1 New York Times bestselling author, Pulitzer Prize winner, and leading historian Doris Kearns Goodwin comes an essential middle grade guide to Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson and how they became leaders. All four presidents profiled grew up and lived in very different worlds--Lincoln was poor and self-educated; Theodore Roosevelt hailed from an elegant home in the heart of New York City; Franklin Roosevelt loved the outdoors surrounding his familys rural estate; and Lyndon Johnsons modest childhood home had no electricity or running water. So how did each of them do it--rise to become President of the United States? What did these four kids have individually--and have in common--that catapulted them to lead America through some of its most turbulent times? FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Doris Kearns Goodwins 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 Spielbergs 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 Thats What Id 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. Review "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 Details ISBN1665925728 Author Amy June Bates Year 2024 Illustrator Amy June Bates ISBN-13 9781665925723 Format Hardcover Subtitle How Four Kids Became President Audience Children / Juvenile Publisher Simon & Schuster Imprint Simon & Schuster Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States DEWEY 973.099 Pages 368 ISBN-10 1665925728 UK Release Date 2024-10-10 Publication Date 2024-09-10 US Release Date 2024-09-10 Audience Age 8-12 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
