Since I have a horrible cold, I'm spending 4th of July weekend in bed. Thank goodness for television. (My head hurts too much to read.) I've been watching the HBO John Adams series all morning. The program is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by David McCollough. I must have dozed off during U.S. History class because I never really grasped until now the enormous influence John Adams had in the American Revolution.
Here are some great children's books about the second president of the United States of America and his brave, outspoken wife, Abigail:
Wallner, Alexandra. Abigail Adams. New York: Holiday House, 2001.
St, George J. John & Abigail Adams: An American Love Story. New York: Holiday House, 2001. Print.

Adler, David A, Michael S. Adler, and Ronald Himler. A Picture Book of John and Abigail Adams. New York: Holiday House, 2010. ps. I love that the last line of the official White House online biography on Abigail Adams has a link to where you can "learn more about Abigail Smith Adams's spouse."
