About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking about the origins of the United States or starts noticing symbols like the American flag and Independence Day. It serves as an introductory bridge for children who are beginning to grapple with concepts of fairness, rules, and why people sometimes choose to walk away from a situation that feels unjust. While the description mentions Isla Fisher (an error in the source metadata), the book itself is a structured educational guide focused on the historical separation between the Colonies and the British Crown. This guide frames the American Revolution not just as a series of battles, but as a major life decision rooted in the desire for self-determination. It introduces early elementary students to the emotional weight of standing up for oneself and the resilience required to build something new from scratch. It is age-appropriate for the 7 to 10 range, using accessible language to explain why 'breaking up' can sometimes be a necessary step toward growth and freedom.
