When your child begins asking big questions about why people leave their homes to start over or how laws are made to protect different beliefs, this book serves as an excellent factual anchor. It moves beyond simple dates to explore the human motivations behind the Maryland Colony, specifically focusing on the search for religious freedom and the complexities of building a new society from the ground up. It is an ideal resource for students who prefer concrete evidence, such as maps and primary sources, over fictionalized accounts. Designed for children aged 8 to 12, the book balances the aspirational goals of the Calvert family with the harsh realities of colonial survival. Parents will appreciate the way it introduces concepts of justice and resilience through the lens of history, helping children understand that the freedoms we often take for granted were once radical experiments. It is a clear, educational choice for supporting school projects or fueling a budding historian's interest in the foundations of American community.
