Does your child like to read, talk, play, watch, and breathe football? Ever wonder where the saying, "Here's one for the Gipper!" comes from? Here's a book that's "in season."
Win One for the Gipper by Kathy-Jo Wargin/ Bruce Langton
What about a story of a woman who entertained her children with bread dough sculptures then, upon the death of her husband, had to use that domestic ability to make a living for them all? She went on to use her talents to not only make a living for her family but also to spy for the American Revolution. Read where she hid her information and how it was delivered to the colonies. True story!

We're doing World War II this year and I've discovered another picture book from a child's perspective. Poignant.
We enjoyed a great Great Depression unit study last year. I love it when I come across a book we missed during our study and can add it to our collection of personal information.
I know you know the song, but do you know anything about the life and times of the man who wrote it?
I hope you enjoy spending time with these beautiful books. Such a delightful way to learn about history, people, and the times they lived in.
Thanks, Cay! I just love finding book recommendations.
