**Tad Lincoln's restless wriggle just wouldn't quit, much to the delight
of his father, President Abraham Lincoln--if not so much to anybody
else! This picture book brings to life the famous first son who coped
with a disability and other challenges while showing compassion,
intelligence, and wisdom beyond his years.

Tad Lincoln's boundless energy annoyed almost everyone but his father,
President Abraham Lincoln. But Tad put that energy to good use during
the tough times of the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln guided Tad's wriggle
on visits to hospitals, to the telegraph office, and to army camps. Tad
greeted visitors, raised money for bandages, and kept his father company
late into the night. This special and patient bond between father and
son was plain to see, and before long, Tad had wriggled his way into the
hearts of others as well. Beth Anderson and S.D. Schindler follow Tad's
antics during the Civil War to uncover the generous heart and joyful
spirit that powered Tad's restless wriggle.
