My oldest is not a fan of reading. He loves to learn, but reading is not his preferred method. This means some subjects are more difficult to teach than others. History being one of them.
Enter “What Would our Founding Fathers Think?” This book is not your usual approach to history. David Bowman approaches the constitution in a fun and creative way. Through cartoons and humor, Bowman grabs the attention of the reader and weaves in history in a way that gets kids coming back for more. That’s why I’m so excited to be teaming up with David Bowman this month!
History is not just about what you read in a book. It comes to life when you make it personal and relative to today. Bowman does a wonderful job of establishing the historical, literal existence of the Constitution, which all Americans – young and old – need to understand.

What I love about this book:
- The approach – This book has such a fun and inviting approach. My son loved reading it because the images were creative and comical. They were on “his level” and intriguing to him, enough that he kept wanting to read – which is saying something
- The simplicity – I love that this book presents the Constitution in a way that kids of all ages can understand. It’s not full of legal, mumbo-jumbo or large words that require a dictionary to read a sentence. That is part of what makes this book so wonderful.
- It is relative – Bowman does a fantastic job both through his artwork and the way in which he tells the story from the historical figures point-of-view, the really brings history to life. Even though we don’t have videos of our founding fathers talking about their why, Bowman brings them to life in their “chat” sessions.
- The creativity – It amazes me how authors can seamlessly weave humor and fact throughout a book that entices children to learn more. Bowman does just that in this book and I couldn’t be more happy with what my son learned while reading it. It opened up a world of questions, more learning and conversations that might not have been sparked otherwise.
I highly recommend this book to both youth and adults. It is a great way to introduce the Constitution to young students and a wonderful way for adults to understand what our nation truly needs.

I think this book looks great! Anything that allows me to teach relevant history to my kids while keeping it fun is a WIN in my book.
Absolutely!! That’s what I love about it! Good luck!
These are beautiful pictures. I think me favorite is a tie between “Adoration” and “Forever”
I like a lot of them, but “Peace” would be a great one to have. Thanks!
Wow, he is talented! I LOVED the picture of Mary and Joseph holding Jesus called “Devotion” and the one of Jesus smiling and holding the little boy, called “Innocence”. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I really love joy because it reminds me of the Scripture describing Jesus blessing the children. The artist has captured the moment so beautifully.
I like the print called “Devotion”.

They’re all so beautiful. I love My Child.
OOO this sounds like a good one!
My son, who is high functioning autistic, loves learning about our American foundations. I am always looking for new, relevant, accurate information to utilize in teaching him. It is always great to have a new resource that excites your child and has him wanting to learn more.
I would enjoy owning Adoration. It is beautiful!
All of them are great. I love Innocence the best I think.
I liked so many – Innocence, Joy, Inspire, and Adoration are my favorite!
This is great. We are just getting to the constitution in American History.
Oh yay! That’s perfect then!!
This looks interesting and fun. Two very important things to learning.
And adoration and innocence is beautiful
Ok-Security is my favorite. It just reminds me of Christ-almost like a real memory. Love this one.
