It's the start of a new day in America. Young readers, come along with Rush Revere, Liberty the horse, and the time-traveling crew on this exciting patriotic adventure. We'll journey to the past to see our nation's most famous symbols up close!
Hey Rush Revere, where did Liberty go?
Here I am, Captain Revere, ready for duty!
Liberty, where did you get that spinach smoothie?
*Slurp*
Well, he definitely didn't get it from 1787. That's where we're headed next with our enthusiastic young friends in the Time-Traveling Crew. But first, we'll cause a little chaos at the National Archives in Washington D.C.! Mistaken identities and a wild chase through the streets of Philadelphia will lead us to James Madison, the introverted Father of our Constitution, and the intense secret debates over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Fast forward a few years, and we'll witness Dolley, James Madison's brave wife, risking her life to save an important portrait from the White House as the British set Washington on fire!
What better symbol of our hard-won freedoms than the Star-Spangled Banner, sewn by American icon Betsy Ross? Francis Scott Key will explain what inspired him to write our beautiful national anthem as we witness the bombs bursting in air during a major battle in 1814 to defend our liberty.
Join Rush Revere, the Time-Traveling Crew, and Liberty the horse as we leap through American history, encountering heroes and extraordinary citizens who have so much to teach us about patriotism. All you need to bring is your curiosity about the birth of our democracy. I've got plenty of tricornered hats for everyone!
