"Hey Brady, Meet Abe" is a series of stories about Abraham Lincoln's life told in a manner to introduce him to children from 3 to 7 years of age. The stories cover his life from his childhood up until he became the President of the United States. These brief stories focus on "Abe's" positive attributes such as his friendly manner, honesty, sense of humor, fairness, and eagerness to learn. Whether the book is read to a child or boys and girls can read it on their own, the author's hope is to inspire children to adopt Abraham Lincoln's lifelong traits and try to become "just like Abe."
