No one could have thought up a more amazing character than the living, breathing Benjamin Franklin. He was everything from a "soapmaker, candle dipper, and printer" to a "postmaster, political activist, community reformer, revolutionary, statesman, international diplomat, and first great citizen of a nation which he, as much or more than anyone, helped to create."
Acclaimed children's author-illustrator Cheryl Harness through her true-to-life paintings and storytelling-style narrative, along with a generous sampling of Franklin's own words, lets you "walk in his shoes" as you discover just how truly remarkable Benjamin Franklin was.
One of America's Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, would have turned 300 this month. In celebration, Cheryl Harness adds a picture book biography in the same vein as her The Revolutionary John Addams, this time paying tribute to The Remarkable Benjamin Franklin. Like others in this series, Harness peppers a lengthy, informative text with a generous sprinkling of quotes (taken primarily from Franklin's letters, journals, autobiography and Poor Richard's Almanack) plus paintings that evoke the period. The author/artist puts special emphasis on Franklin's apprenticeship as a printer (and how that led to his role as a newpaperman and author of the Almanack), his scientific experiments and inventions, and his skills as a diplomat. A timeline placing his life in the context of world events wraps up this ideal introduction to a truly remarkable man. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
