Founding father George Washington’s boyhood defined our first president—see how in this picture book biography.

As a boy, with the help of his teachers, George Washington created a list of the values of civility that he wanted to live by:

1. When another speaks, be attentive yourself and disturb not the audience.
2. Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.

This richly illustrated picture book is based on that little-known historical document and chronicles George Washington’s life from boyhood to his extraordinary leadership position as the first President of the United States of America.

About the Author:
Frank Keating, the governor of Oklahoma for two consecutive terms from 1995 to 2005, is the author of Will Rogers: An American Legend, which received the Golden Spur Award of the Western Writers of America. Mr. Keating lives with his wife, Cathy, in Washington, DC.

Mike Wimmer has illustrated many books for children, including Home Run: The Story of Babe Ruth by Robert Burleigh, which was named an ALA Notable Children’s Book and was called a “grand slam” in a starred review in Publishers Weekly. He also illustrated Flight: The Journey of Charles Lindbergh by Robert Burleigh, which received the Orbis Pictus Award for nonfiction. He lives in Oklahoma with his family.
From Booklist:
This biographical picture book juxtaposes full-page paintings of George Washington with a first-person account of his life, beginning “I am remembered as the Father of My Country.” With just a paragraph or two on each double-page spread, the clearly written, straightforward text is well suited to reading aloud. Aptly chosen selections from Washington’s “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation,” the maxims that he transcribed during his school days and put into practice throughout his life, frequently appear below the text. The illustrations capture the tone as well as the content of the words. Though some of the scenes look as still as tableaux, others recreate motion very effectively. Strong composition and use of light heighten the drama of the scenes. The last page includes an author’s note, an artist’s note, historical notes on the art, and a bibliography. This handsomely designed book presents a traditional view of Washington, which is precisely what many parents and primary-grade teachers will be looking for come Presidents’ Day. Grades 2-4. --Carolyn Phelan
