From Colonies to Country with George Washington Book

For students ages eight to fourteen, the My American Journey series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction. Each of these first four books (In a projected series of ten) recounts highlights from the life of a true early American founder or social pioneer. But to engage a student's interest from page one, a fictional narrator--usually a school-age person who somehow knew the main hero--tells the story with youthful vigor. Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-Page's unique lessons are plentiful illustrations from Sergio Martinez (Max Lucado's You Are Special). Each book also contains study questions for every chapter, as well as special activities, and character building lessons.
