      The article discusses children's picture book biographies. The picture book biography "Abe Lincoln Crosses a Creek," written by Deborah Hopkinson and illustrated by John Hendrix, is described in terms of explaining the common elements of this type of book, which is the complementary bridging of text and illustrations. Biographers, it is noted, must choose what facts and stories to tell about their subjects.
