  • "This story of George Washington is a gem! It is perfectly written for young and old alike and the illustrations reflect both the simple was of young Washington and the grandeur of his role as Commander of the Continental Army along with the hardships of Colonial America. It is the perfect addition to anyone’s library!"

    — T. Lynn Corley

  • "I believe that U. S. citizens must know our nation's history to fully understand what is happening in our country today. I also believe that parents have the primary responsibility to educate their children. So I immediately fell in love with The Great George Washington, which tells about the life of our first president. This rhyming picture book begins with Washington's childhood, continues through the Revolutionary War, and discusses his time as president. It is full of gorgeous illustrations that are sure to keep your child's attention. I am eager to see what books Katie Broussard publishes next!"

    — K. McIlwraith

Not all books are created equal. In today’s society, we must be so careful not only about the content of the books our children read, but also the heart of their creation. #childrensbooks #raisingreaders #intentionalparenting #homeschoollife
