This illustrated biography of John Adams is told through the eyes of his son, John Quincy Adams. This 52-page book received the Best of K-12 Award from the New England Book Show and the Parents' Choice Gold Award. It tells the story of John Adams' key vision and leadership in helping to obtain the Declaration of Independence, win the Revolutionary War with Great Britain, and form the new nation of the United States of America where he was the second President. The book is full of colored illustrations and Colonial artwork. The Boston Landmarks Orchestra set the words to music composed by Anthony DiLorenzo and narrated by David McCullough, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of John Adams, which was made into a companion CD. A free audiobook of the narration by David McCullough and the companion music performed by the Boston Landmarks Orchestra is available on-line. Throughout the book, the important support and guidance that John Adams received from his wife, Abigail Adams, is brought out. Marked for hanging by King George, Adams risked his life to secure Independence Forever. Aided by his wife, Abigail, Adams spoke up in the Continental Congress and in Europe with a Voice Heard 'Round the World. His dedication to the cause of American freedom separated him from his family for ten long years.
