"President Lincoln did what he thought was right, even when it shook people up," Louis said. "Just like you," his Mama responded. Just like the librarian who risked her job to allow Louis to enter the "White Only" library in 1951 Alabama. Beautiful illustrations by Colin Bootman accompany this story filled with facts about young Abe Lincoln and a young man's perseverance despite prejudice and injustice.
