Description

Benjamin Franklin is known as a printer, writer, scientist, inventor, patriot, and statesman. One of the five men who wrote the Declaration of Independence, Franklin helped draft the Constitution, was the president of an antislavery society, served as a colonel in the French and Indian War, and held many other luminary positions. Today, Franklin’s face graces the hundred-dollar bill. But who was this extraordinary man, and how did he come to be such an important figure in American history? In elegant prose and vibrant pictures, Yona Zeldis McDonough and her mother, renowned folk artist Malcah Zeldis, collaborate on the biography of one of America’s founding fathers. Full-color illustrations. Juvenile audience. Reinforced library binding.
