1940 Caldecott
d'Aulaire, Ingri & Edgar Parin.  Abraham Lincoln.  New York: Doubleday, 1939. 

Did you know that Abraham Lincoln didn’t attend school much after he reached the age of six?  When he grew up, Abe worked in a store.  In the bottom of an old barrel he found a law book.  After studying that book, he became a lawyer.  Eventually, he ran for President of the United States, and after he was elected, he did something extraordinary. He freed the African-American slaves. (AB)
