Revolution and Rebellion ~ Book Recommendation

 

The flames of revolution sparked a rebellion.

250 years ago, we demanded the right to have our voices heard.
We threw off the restraints of a king.
We fought for the freedom to rule ourselves.

We became a country of, by, and for THE PEOPLE.
Where all are created equal.
It was a dream of freedom that led to a Revolution and a Declaration.

It all began on April 18, 1775,
with a midnight ride that led to a shot heard around the world
on April 19, 1775.

Let freedom ring across this land. 

And never forget the hard-fought cost that gave 

this precious gift to us in trust.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence,

I am sharing books that I have read over the years that I feel

are worth reading during this time.

Some books may be harder to track down,

so be sure to visit your local library to see

if they possibly have a copy or can obtain one from

another library.

First up is from the American Girl Collection

Meet Felicity - 1774

This is the first book in the collection, and it is an 

easy-to-read introduction to the American Revolution

for middle grade readers (chapter books).
