Gingerbread for Liberty

$ 17.99
This product is sold out

“No empty bellies here, Not in my America” bellows the plump gingerbread maker.  With the American Revolution racing through the countryside this German baker approaches General Washington to offer his services of baking bread for the Continental Army.  Readers won’t have a clue what happens next! This picture book is an irresistible invitation to take a glimpse into 

America’s past - which may turn little readers into future history buffs!  Author Mara Rockliff tells the story of a little-known German American hero who was a simple baker and a kind, generous man.  Vincent X. Kirsch’s illustrations are a paper-cut style that resembles cookies - and German gingerbread cookies known as Lebkuchen.  At the conclusion of the story, the author includes an explanation of the actual Christopher Ludwick, a little-known participant and contributor to America’s victory in the revolution. This historical vignette becomes the basis for Rockliff’s delightful picture book.  And in case you don’t have a favorite gingerbread recipe handy, one is included.  Sample, savor and enjoy “ Revolution, Independence, Liberty, and Dessert!”

Henry,

I know you like stories about our country and how it came to be.  I don’t think you have heard this story though!  Before you read this, you and mom will need to make a batch of gingerbread cookies-okay?

Yummy! 

Love, Grams
