What if Benjamin Franklin showed up in Franklin, Tennessee... as a kid?
On an ordinary afternoon in the town square, a mysterious whirlwind deposits a wide-eyed, kite-toting Benjamin Franklin onto a familiar bench. He's curious, clever, a little dramatic, and completely amazed to discover a town named after him. Even more astonishing? The children he meets might be just as inventive as he is.
As Ben spends a magical day exploring Franklin, local kids guide him through parks, libraries, farms, festivals, and music-filled streets. Along the way, readers discover Ben's childhood, his love of books, writing, science, music, invention, and travel, brought to life through humor, hands-on moments, and modern connections. From kite flying and candle making to glass music, dancing, libraries, and the Harpeth River's quiet lessons, Ben learns that curiosity hasn't changed-and neither has the power of imagination.
Woven throughout the story are Franklin's famous 13 virtues, kid-friendly sayings, and simple acts of kindness that show how big ideas start small. When Ben's time in Franklin comes to an end, he leaves behind something even more important than history-inspiration!
