  Educational Spotlight: "The President of the Jungle"

  May 19, 20262 minS0

  <p>I’m definitely partial to vintage, classic children’s picture books, but there are some new ones out there worth reading. While browsing our local library I came across The President of the Jungle, a funny story about animals peacefully uprising against the King Lion by agreeing to hold an election for a president instead. It was published in 2020 and features some familiar protest slogans and candidate personalities that adults can appreciate. It was written and illustrated by Andre Rodrigues, Larissa Ribeiro, Paula Desgualdo, and Pedro Markun.</p><p>My children enjoyed it and requested multiple re-reads. The bright colo...

  The Keepers: Mrs. Mercy Otis Warren

  Apr 21, 20267 minS0

  <p>Mercy Otis Warren was an early advocate, critic, and historian of the United States founding. Born September 14, 1728 in Barnstable, MA to Col. James Otis and Mary Allyne Otis, Mercy was the third of their thirteen children. As was typical for girls at that time, Mercy didn’t receive much formal education, but she was allowed to observe her older brothers’ lessons under a private tutor. Her brother James Otis, Jr. attended Harvard College and supported her intellectual growth. Mercy read widely, and the influence of literary giants such as William Shakespeare, John Milton, and Alexander Pope is evident in her...

  The Keepers: Mrs. Dolley Payne Todd Madison

  Apr 13, 20265 minS0

  <p>So iconic was Dolley Madison in her lifetime that she defined the role of presidential spouse as “first lady,” a title that we acknowledge to this day. In 1768, she was born Dorothea Payne in North Carolina to John and Mary Coles Payne. The Paynes had eight children and moved to Virginia shortly after Dolley was born. In accordance with their Quaker values, John freed their plantation slaves as soon as manumission became legal in Virginia. He then relocated his family, including 15-year-old Dolley, to Philadelphia and became a laundry starch manufacturer. When that business was unsuccessful, Mary opened a boar...

  The Keepers: Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams

  Apr 9, 20269 minS0

  <p>Any discussion of the American founding would be remiss without mention of Abigail Adams, both a wife and mother of U.S. presidents, and respected advocate for liberty, equality, and self-governance. While she and her husband John Adams spent at least a decade of their marriage apart, their resulting correspondence created a valuable tome of primary source observations and political philosophy of the early American republic. Abigail Smith Adams was born November 11, 1744 in Weymouth, MA to Congregational minister Reverend William Smith and his wife Elizabeth Quincy Smith, the second of four children. Abigail was raised in a print rich...

  Easter Special Edition: Where Are You On The Road To Emmaus?

  Apr 5, 20265 minS0

  <p>Cleopas and his friend departed Jerusalem with devastated and perplexed hearts. The crowds had chosen a criminal to be released during Passover season instead of the innocent man who had healed and loved them. The Pharisees condemned a man who had come to fulfill the Law and the Prophets that they studied and preserved. The Romans had executed a leader not of insurgency, but of peace.</p><p>In vain they tried to make sense of this chaos as they traveled on foot to Emmaus (a village with a name which means “warm spring”).</p><p>Suddenly, a stranger appe...
