Thomas Jefferson was more than a president and patriot. He was also
a planter and gardener who loved to watch things grow--everything
from plants and crops to even his brand-new 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! Back matter
includes an author's note on Jefferson's legacy today; timeline,
bibliography; place to visit (Monticello); and source notes.

Wild West chaos and creative problem solving are the force behind a
well-loved American institution. What's a California miner to do
when gold dust sifts right out of his holey pockets? With such a
raggedy wardrobe, he may as well be mining in the vanilla (that is,
his birthday suit) Good thing Levi Strauss is out west, ready with
his needle and a head full of bright ideas. With some quick
thinking, quicker stitching, and handy arithmetic, Levi keeps all
the gold rushers clothed--and becomes a modern American hero. A
Wild West tall tale, "Levi Strauss Gets a Bright Idea "celebrates
creativity, innovation, and the ubiquitous item that fills the
closets of grateful jeans wearers worldwide.
