About this Episode

At a time where patriotism is decreasing it is important, now more than ever, to pass American values onto the next generation. As the 250th birthday of our great nation approaches, Amanda Martin has stepped in to make learning and celebrating American history fun through her new children's book: Henry the Star-Spangled Spaniel. In the book, Henry goes back in history to witness key moments and brings young readers along with him. 

In this episode, Amanda and Grace discuss the new book, literacy among young Americans, why patriotism should not be partisan, and how parents can make America’s founding story fun for kids again. Children are often more open to American history than adults give them credit for--Henry is proving this!

Find the book everywhere today to celebrate our 250th anniversary with the children in your life!
