About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating a friendship fallout or struggling to understand why someone they care about has such different opinions. This story explores the real-life relationship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, showing how even the closest bonds can be tested by pride and ideological differences. It provides a gentle, historical lens through which kids can examine their own conflicts and the importance of reaching out first. While the setting is the American Revolution, the heart of the narrative is a deeply relatable social-emotional lesson. It highlights that being right is often less important than being a friend. Perfect for children ages 6 to 9, it uses humor and expressive illustrations to de-escalate the intensity of a political rivalry into a lesson about empathy, the passage of time, and the power of a simple letter to mend a broken bridge.
