We can all be heroes. That’s the inspiring message of this New York Times best-selling biography series from historian and author Brad Meltzer. Learn all about George Washington, America’s first president.

George Washington was one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known. He was never afraid to be the first to try something, from exploring the woods around his childhood home to founding a brand new nation, the United States of America. With his faith in the American people and tremendous bravery, he helped win the Revolutionary War and became the country’s first president.

Each entry in this series is a biography of a significant historical figure, told in a simple, conversational, vivacious way, and always focusing on a character trait that makes the person a role model for kids. The heroes tell their life stories in first-person present tense, which keeps the books playful and accessible to young children. And each book ends with a line of encouragement and a direct quote.

A factually accurate introduction to America's founding father suitable for a grandparent to read to their grandchild. This short book condenses the core of what it means to be a leader. It may introduce new information about George Washington even for people who are fans of American History. Did you know that the first president was homeschooled, but never got a high school education? Read the book to learn more about his childhood.

The audiobook version is also very short and should better be bundled with a collection of Ordinary People Change the World stories instead of being sold separately. What the audiobook looses from colorful illustrations it makes up with in a full cast of voices, sound effects, and music. It can be a short inspiring listen.

This book has also been adapted by Season 1 Episode 3 of the PBS Kids series Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum which can be streamed on Amazon Prime.
