About this listen
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?
Critic Reviews
"Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin has reconstructed her set of presidential biographies about four great American leaders to aim at a young audience...Rufus Jones provides a well-bred tone for Theodore Roosevelt, and Christian McKay gives FDR’s voice a hint of his distinctive upper-class accent...Johnson is portrayed by Dion Graham with a robust Southern voice. In the conclusion, Goodwin herself warmly addresses her listeners with reminders that even the greatest leaders have faults."
