In 1776, a small, brand-new country was born against all odds - and almost nobody believed it would survive its first year. It did.
And over the next 250 years, it grew into something extraordinary. This book invites your young reader to celebrate that milestone by living the amazing true stories that shaped it.
This isn't a dry list of names and dates. It's a time machine!
Along the way, your young reader will discover:
- Why the Boston Tea Party was a million-dollar soggy mess - and the surprising reason the Sons of Liberty swept the decks clean before they vanished into the night
- The jaw-dropping true story of Henry Box Brown, who mailed himself to freedom in a 3-foot wooden crate
- Why Paul Revere never actually shouted The British are coming! - and how a black petticoat on a clothesline helped win the Revolution
- How Thomas Edison tested thousands of materials for his light bulb - including beard hair from two volunteers - before he found one that glowed
- The human computers: brilliant women like Katherine Johnson who calculated the path to the Moon by hand, with pencils and slide rules, when no one yet trusted the electronic machines
- Why the first powered flight was shorter than the wingspan of a modern jumbo jet - and how a piece of that 1903 plane is flying on Mars right now
And much, much more!
Celebrate America's 250th birthday with a book your family will read together and remember for years. The time machine is boarding - scroll up and click Buy Now to begin the adventure.
