Another wonderful biography from Adler, this picture book introduces young readers to the life of Patrick Henry, a pivotal player in America’s early founding. From his childhood in Virginia to his career as a successful lawyer, this work details his early life prior to his influential political career. After gaining popularity in Virginia, Henry represented the state in the First and Second Continental Congress and served as governor. Henry was a key advocate for American independence from the British, but later opposed the newly drafted U.S. Constitution. A man of deliberation and patriotism, Henry worked to place safeguards on individual liberties and was instrumental in the writing of the Bill of Rights. The author integrates many of Henry’s famous quotations into the text and presents an accurate account of Henry’s principles, his failures, and his accomplishments.
