Daring feats, military tactics, and naked cupid babies! What more could you ask for in this incredible volume about the Marquis de Lafayette, who helped foil sabotage efforts on the part of the French and English during the American Revolution? Oh yes, projectile vomiting. 🤢

🎶 At Yorktown, the British could not retreat🎶
🎵 Bottled up by Washington and the French fleet🎵
🎶 Cornwallis surrendered and, finally, we had won!🎶

Schoolhouse Rock taught me all I needed to know about the Revolutionary War. Nathan Hale taught me about Lafayette, which Schoolhouse Rock didn't include too much of. 😍

🤣🤣🤣 A friendly potato!!! Poor Ben Franklin!!! #historyisfun #KidLit #middlegrade #raisingreaders

Lafayette was so weirdly endearing, so ambitious but also modest. I dunno. It's weird I've never heard of the guy considering how big a role he played in the revolution.

These graphic novels are so great though, very accessible and entertaining for kiddos that don't really read.

Out in October! My son would be super excited if he knew but...he doesn‘t. I think I‘ll surprise him with it when it is published. He loves this series of humorous, graphic novel retellings of historical events. Ever time he reads one, he spends the next couple of days spitting out all the facts he learned.
