There is no other political office in the world like it. The 45 men who have filled the office have come from diverse backgrounds to embrace the many different challenges unique to the American experiment. Mary Carol Ghislin, a seasoned teacher and author has written a very charming and important book; Growing Up to Be President: U.S. history for kids (Journey to Freedom). BUT This isn't just for kids. Each of the 45 presidents are presented from a historian's perspective as Mary Carol Ghislin recounts relevant events of their respective childhoods that influenced their decision making. Presidents who were enslavers are who freed slaves are also noted along with each presidents position on civil rights and immigration. There is also a focus on Founding Fathers who were not presidents. From George Washington to the consequences of the Dred-Scott Case to Vietnam and fall of the Berlin Wall learn how US presidents have met each of these challenges.
