Description
This picture book for older readers focuses on George Washington as farmer, inventor, and scientist.
Infused with excerpts from George's letters and diaries, the narrative makes a convincing case for Washington's place as the nation's First Farmer.
He invented a combination plow-tiller-harrow, tested different fertilizers, and bred donkeys and horses to create strong mules.
His goal to make Mount Vernon self-sufficient carried over to his goal to make the new country independent.
Layne Johnson's richly colored oil paintings portray the Colonial era with fine details.
The book includes a timeline of Washington's life; shares his views on slavery, and includes a bibliography of additional reading materials and websites.
