On Georgia’s Morning News with Zoller and Bryant, we talked to Callista Gingrich about her continuing American history series for children called “Yankee Doodle Dandy.”
American patriots bravely came together to fight for freedom from England and to create a better life for all. The American Revolution united our forefathers in a fight for principles of liberty, freedom, equality, and independence—principles we still treasure today.
In Yankee Doodle Dandy, the third in her New York Times bestselling series, Callista Gingrich and Ellis the Elephant introduce young children to the story of the American Revolution—from the Boston Tea Party to Paul Revere’s midnight ride, from our victory at Yorktown to George Washington’s declaration that he would not be king.
Ellis, the cuddly elephant, once again intrigued by America’s unique history, sets off to learn everything he can about America’s fight for independence and freedom from England. Ellis travels back in time, witnessing the pivotal moments of the revolution, learning about the challenges the founders faced, and how the colonists came together with courage, dedication, determination, and selflessness to fight for their freedom as a unified nation.
Ellis discovers:
How the revolution saw men and women come together as Americans to fight for freedom and independence.
How our brave patriots faced difficult decisions and painful periods of defeat with courage, dedication, determination, and selflessness.
The important role of women in the revolution; the Founding Fathers’ wise vision for American liberty; and the decisive battle that ended the war with the help of our allies the French.
