| book description |

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 family's rural estate; and Lyndon Johnson's 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?
