A moving portrait of a courageous figure by the author of Abe's Honest Words and Martin's Big Words. John F. Kennedy was a popular, charismatic president, beloved by many.

Doreen Rappaport once again combines real-life quotes with her own lyrical prose to create a moving portrait of a beloved figure. Matt Tavares' stunning artwork vividly depicts this unique time in history.
