Using simple language that beginning readers can understand, this lively, inspiring, and believable biography looks at the childhood of the man who grew up to become an integral part of the American colonies' fight for freedom.
George Washington was the first President of the United States, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. But what was he like as a kid?
In this narrative biography, you'll learn all about George Washington's childhood, from his birth in Virginia on February 22, 1732, to his boyhood on a farm near Fredricksburg and later at Mount Vernon, to his relationship with his older brother, who was like a father to him. Find out what George did for fun--and what prepared him to eventually lead a new nation.
