Many children do not know that African indentured servants, as well
as free blacks and slaves, all assisted in the founding of our
nation. There were between 5,000 to 20,000 patriots of African and
Native American descent who served in the Continental Forces under
the command of General George Washington. The stunning new picture
book Patriots of African Descent in the Revolutionary War: Part 1
is historical fiction, told by the family historian to his
great-grandson about their family's military and patriotic service
as African-Americans during the Revolutionary War. The two are
direct descendants of two patriots. One was a free black man,
Sergeant Isaac Brown, who served in the 7th, 11th and 15th Virginia
Regiments of the Continental Line. Readers ages eight and older
will be fascinated as they learn about our country's forgotten
patriots. Marion T. Lane is a retired public school educator.
Originally from Philadelphia, she now resides in Bucks County,
Pennsylvania. Her next book is titled More Than One Ancestry. "I am
one of the few African-American members of the National Society of
the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Society of
Descendants of Washington's Army at Valley Forge." Publisher's

A timeless and comforting picture book debut about the power of
music to transform hearts and minds. From a tiny window, way up
high, came a delicate tune. A melody, a song, a sound so sweet ...
Day after day, the song drifts on to the breeze and through the
town. It makes the old feel young and comforts the lonely. It fills
the whole town with joy and kindness. No one knows who sings the
song, but they know it is good. Until one day, the music stops. Can
the town work together to save the song for everyone? In a
gorgeous, lyrical story, debut picture-book creator Lucy Morris
celebrates the joy of music, the importance of community, and the
beauty of simple kindnesses. Sometimes it's the smallest things
that draw us together. Perfect for fans of The World Made a
Rainbow, this beautiful picture book is one to read again and
again.
