Teaching youth the right reasons for succeeding
Because of a lightning-strike in his young life, Liberty (talking
horse) can time-travel and talk. The
students of the substitute teacher, Rush Revere, learn by going back in
time. Early Americans never wanted to
live again under a tyrant and Founding Fathers gave us America. George
Washington agreed to be the first president, but did not want to be the
king. It’s a reminder of the sacrifice
to give us America. It is vital that we preserve it and pass it on to future generations. One of the students of Rush Revere in this 5th
book in the series wants to run for class president, but for all the wrong
reasons. So Liberty takes them back to
talk to George Washington. They learn
from the first American president why and how to run, and how to be a great
president. They learn of George Washington’s hopes, fears, and aspirations. Kathryn Adams Limbaugh is a descendent of
John Adams and helps to write about Martha Washington, Abagail Adams, and Martha Wayles. Young girls will be motivated and
inspired by First Ladies.
We look
forward to buying extra copies, the Kindle version, and the audio version for
when we travel to the homes of our grandchildren. Illustrations and pictures
are great, and we love the photo of Rush on the back cover—best we’ve ever
seen.
