Yanuell began his session by reading: When I Grow Up: Abraham Lincoln by AnnMarie Anderson. The When I Grow Up readers are a perfect introductory biography series. Each book takes the reader on a journey from a recognizable figure's obscure childhood to famed adulthood. Aspirational first-person text is accompanied by a mix of photography and illustrations. This fun take on the early biography is ideal for inspiring children to live out their dreams. This edition of the series begins with the introduction of Abraham Lincoln as the 16th president of the United States. Yanuell was drawn in by the sections of the book that were written from Lincoln's point of view. The book follows Lincoln from his childhood, teen years, early career, how he led the country through the Civil War, helped end slavery, and sadly, his assassination. Yanuell was able to read up to the Civil War and then ran out of time. He book marked the page where he left off and was excited to pick back up on Tuesday.
