John Adams comes to vivid life for young readers in this addition to Harness's acclaimed presidential picture-biographies. Dynamic artwork and lively narrative create a warm, personable portrait of the stubborn man from Braintree, Massachusetts, whose passion for liberty spurred him on to extraordinary roles as a Founding Father, first Vice President, and second President of the United States. Through Adams's eyes, kids witness the tension-enflamed streets of Boston, the bickering Continental Congress, the complexities of waging the War for Independence, and the challenges of governing a new nation. Vivid quotes from both John and Abigail Adams provide great primary source material for school reports, and three illustrated maps show readers where key events took place. How wonderful now to see his story told for children in such an appealing fashion. Cheryl Harness's illustrations and text are first rate, appropriately full of life and understanding.
"Author and illustrator Harness has created a sweeping and striking biography of one of our nation's most influential, yet little known, founding father. The book is especially geared for young readers. Through richly detailed water-color paintings, painstakingly researched text, and a sprinkling of quotes from John Adams' own letters and diaries, Harness brings to life this "stout, stubborn New Englander" who was a steadfast patriot, a consummate diplomat, and wife Abigail's "dearest friend." The biography takes readers to young John's carefree life on the farm in Quincy, Massachusetts, where he often skipped school to fly kites on Penn's Hill. The biography moves on through the turbulent times of the Revolutionary War to Adams' post-war political life as leader and diplomat, when he strove to provide a strong foundation for our fledging country. Beautifully illustrated in (what else?) a red, white, and blue theme, this picture book is endorsed by David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of John Adams. Don't be surprised if you find grown-up history buffs pouring over the pages of this picture book biography, too!"
