Kids' Translations of American Founding Documents: The Gettysburg Address
Are unalienable rights from outer space? How long is four score and seven years? When a flag is spangled is that good or bad? These wonderful books make important historical documents meaningful. Each book translates the work of a primary source into a language kids (and myself) can understand. Each book details what the primary source says in easier language, what it means, and the background story with lots of photo illustrations and interesting facts. The "Why Do I Care?" section condenses all the important points of the document into good reasons that we have it! Also includes a timeline, vocabulary words, a glossary, related internet sites, other children's books on the topic, and more. 32 pages, paperback. Vital information for young and old!

I love this book! I'd like to rename it: How to Be a Christian. Lincoln claimed that Harriett Beecher Stowe's story was responsible for starting the Civil War. Although it was written 150 years ago, the issues of good and evil, kindness and cruelty, faithfulness or despair—they are all still just as vital. Most of all, this book makes one know that the color of the skin has nothing to do with the condition of the heart. The classic story of slavery. Paperback, 384 pages.
