Childrens biography books george washington

Aside from maybe Abraham Lincoln, there’s no president more recognizable to kids than George Washington, and for good reason. He’s on our money, our capitol is named after him, and he is celebrated both as a Revolutionary War hero and the father of our country.

These books will help you learn more about the man behind the myths, and will increase your respect for America’s earliest leader.
