Join Mommy and Bryson as we read about one of the Presidents on President’s Day: James Cross Giblin and Michael Dooling bring the story of the first president to life for a new generation of readers. George Washington, beloved "Father of His Country," left behind no children of his own. Instead he left a nation to which he's dedicated life. Here is his story. Beginning with his childhood in a large, close-nit family on a Virginia farm, we follow him through his life.
