A Picture Book of Paul Revere
A Picture Book of Paul Revere traces the life of this famous American patriot with insight into his youth, his family, and his professional life. Some of Paul Revere’s lasting fame is due to “Paul Revere’s Ride,” a ballad written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
“One if by land, two if by sea…. So began the midnight ride of Paul Revere…”
But before he was a member of the Sons of Liberty, before he led raiders in the Boston Tea Party, before he was a silversmith, he was one of nine children growing up in colonial Boston.
Child-friendly illustrations of the period help readers see Revere’s world, and back matter includes additional details and a time line of Revere’s adventures.
