Raymond Arroyo, New York Times bestselling author and news anchor, presents a fun biography of Tad Lincoln, his relationship with his father, President Abraham Lincoln, and a story about a parent's love for their son and the wisdom of a child. Filled with humour, this historical prank will teach kids the power of curiosity, imagination, friendship, empathy, determination… and even a little mischief!

Tad Lincoln was constantly in trouble. He goes around the White House doing mischief and annoys almost everyone, except the president. However, Tad was his father's joy and consolation amid brutal war, family tragedy, and the burden of holding the nation's highest office. When Tad befriends a turkey destined for a holiday dinner, the plea to spare the animal's life teaches Abe a lesson in benevolence. It also started the tradition of pardoning presidential turkeys, a tradition that presidents continue to this day.
