Focusing on George Washington's roles beyond politics, this picture book portrays him as a pioneering farmer, inventor, and scientist. It highlights his innovations, such as a unique plow-tiller-harrow and efforts in agriculture to achieve self-sufficiency at Mount Vernon. The narrative, enriched with excerpts from his letters and diaries, underscores his vision for an independent nation. Accompanied by Layne Johnson's vibrant oil paintings that capture the Colonial era, the book also features a timeline of Washington's life, insights on slavery, and a bibliography for further exploration.
