This nonfiction picture book for young readers ages 7-10 reveals the true story of General George Washington's brave decision to inoculate his troops against smallpox during the American Revolution.

General George Washington and his ragtag army are preparing to battle the powerful British military when the first attack comes-- from an enemy that is invisible and deadly--smallpox!

The disease wreaks havoc on his troops, foils his plans, and threatens to extinguish hope for independence. Desperate to get smallpox under control, Washington faces an agonizing decision--one that could either destroy his army or save it. He knew what he had to do, but how? The fate of a nation was on the line. Here is a new look at a founding father that uniquely shows why vaccines remain important today.
