Something for the entire family

Katie Broussard holding The Great George Washington
Our story

It all began with my
three-year-old's question:

“Mama, why do we celebrate the Fourth of July?”

I went looking for a book to answer my daughter and found almost nothing written for her age. Watching her play with her princesses, I realized: if our children can know Cinderella and Snow White, surely they can know George Washington and Betsy Ross. With that, The Littlest Statesmen was born.

The Littlest Statesmen exists to help families raise children grounded in the rich history and enduring truths of our great country, one story at a time.

A cherished family favorite

“I’m a public library director, and was thrilled to purchase this book for our collection. This is a beautiful book, sturdy and well made. The illustrations are so lovely. I cannot wait to get it into the hands of our families with young children.”
B. Speers · Altamont Public Library
“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
“The book is beautiful, such a breath of fresh air in the era of simplistic children’s books. Excited to have this book in our library.”
N. Svoboda
“We just received this book, and my daughter is already obsessed! It’s written so beautifully that even my toddler understands the important messages. The illustrations are absolutely stunning as well. We cannot wait for more books from this author!”
E. Stabbert
“This is an excellent gift for any family with littles that is aiming to raise high-value humans in a society that is in dire need of just that. The illustrations are lovely and the story is powerfully simple. I can’t wait to see what comes next from The Littlest Statesmen.”
