Toliver's secret

Ellen Toliver grows on you.

Another read-aloud that my son and I read together for his History. I am really enjoying the fact that along with reading the history of the US, my son gets to experience what he's learning through the eyes of a child in this book.
The bravery and courage that little Ellen Toliver somehow finds through the course of the story is a timeless lesson for every child (and maybe some grown-ups, too). This was yet another book that my son was begging me to read more of at the end of each chapter!
