A man who was resolved to “never wear any other character than that of a farmer.” This illustrated, biographical book shines a bright light on the side of Thomas Jefferson that is not commonly found in textbooks. A farmer and a nurturer at heart, Thomas Jefferson not only nurtured a growing country politically, but agriculturally, academically, and physically as well. Representing America and France, Jefferson promoted life in America and worked hard to right the wrongs in opinions about the United States. There are quotes provided in a cursive script throughout the book. Readers of all ages will enjoy learning about this tenacious, agricultural side of Thomas Jefferson. 40 pgs, hc. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Thomas Jefferson Grows a Nation
As minister to France, Jefferson promoted all things American, sharing corn and pecans with his Parisian neighbors. As secretary of state, he encouraged his fellow farmers to grow olives, rice and maple trees. As president, he doubled the size of the nation with the Louisiana Purchase. Even in his retirement, Jefferson continued to nurture the nation, laying the groundwork for the University of Virginia. In this meticulously researched picture book for older readers, author Peggy Thomas uncovers Jefferson's passion for agriculture and his country. And Stacy Innerst's incredibly original illustrations offer the right balance of reverence and whimsy. This is Thomas Jefferson as he's never been seen before!
