What others are
saying about John Hancock, Independent Boy " This book is a wonderful insight into the young life
of America's most famous personalities, filling in the gaps between
"child of privilege" and "royal traitor." It does
a good job, as well, as explaining the Revolution from not only a
boy's eyes but also from the hearts and minds of adults. When John
Hancock signs his name for all, especially the King of England, to
see, we the readers know why John did it and what he hoped to accomplish,
since we have understood him as he has grown up before our eyes."--Social
Studies for Kids
"Many people already know that John Hancock was the first person
to sign the
Declaration of Independence, and he signed his name large and bold,
so
England could read his name without glasses. But what was his childhood
like? The Young Patriots series offers a glimpse into the young lives
of
America's heroes, and allows children of today to see how these men
and
women often led normal lives before they became American heroes. A
great way
for kids to learn about America's past."--Kids Bookshelf (click to return to John's home page)
