On first impressions, it may seem like the Founding Fathers of our country were just a bunch of white haired old men, but beneath the surface, they were as different from each other as night and day! Some were rich, some were poor. Some were very religious, some hated the idea of religion! Many were against slavery, while many owned slaves. Some were landowners, some loved the city life. They were a complicated bunch! But they were all smart! And they all loved our country. With funny writing and wacky pictures you will love learning about some of our most famous of our country’s founders!  (Garden State Children's Book Awards, 2018)
