- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Vinnie and Abraham by Dawn FitzGerald is a historical nonfiction informational book about the sculptress that was commissioned to complete an Abraham Lincoln memorial detailing the president holding the Emancipation Proclamation. The book is likely appropriate to be read to children grades K-5 and could probably be read by middle school students. The intent of the book, presenting the first female artist commissioned by the United States government, in the context of her professional relationship with Abraham Lincoln and her achievements I believe is wholly successful.
