Synopsis

THE eBOOK: a 92-page, author-illustrated eBOOK (in PDF format) for elementary school-aged children about Virginia’s Historic Triangle; a region that encompasses Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.

It’s dramatic, full-color illustrations are unsurpassed in other children’s books about this region, and they help bring history alive for young readers. For adults, the book also includes an appendix of history and natural history notes that will answer all those questions that children love to ask!

All states offer Virginia history components in their elementary history curriculum because of Virginia’s leading role in the founding of this nation. This eBOOK’s appeal, therefore, is far-reaching with lessons that will never fade in importance.

THE STORY: Willi, a jaunty little dog, suddenly finds herself lost and travels from Jamestown to Yorktown along the historic Colonial Parkway in search of her owner, Mr. V.  Her many animal friends and some noted colonial-era Virginians help her along the way — and in the process she learns how our nation was born. You’ll enjoy children’s reactions to Willi and her adventure story at “Willi’s Fan Club
