Sometimes the best way to understand history… is to live it, even just for a page or two.

What begins as a classic Fourth of July celebration quickly transforms into a journey through time in Kathleen Whitham’s Fourth of July Adventure—a cheerful, imaginative, and powerfully educational children’s book that turns American history into an unforgettable adventure. 

Young readers follow Olivia, Graham, and Amelia as they unexpectedly stumble upon a mysterious time machine nestled in the woods behind their house. With childlike curiosity and fearless excitement, the trio travels through pivotal moments in U.S. history—witnessing the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, absorbing Lincoln’s stirring words at Gettysburg in 1863, and feeling the heartbeat of the civil rights movement in 1963 as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declares his dream.

Each stop along the way is more than a lesson—it’s an experience. History comes to life in ways that are colorful, emotional, and incredibly human. And when the children return to the present, they carry with them more than stories—they carry meaning, pride, and questions worth discussing. 

A joyful, educational, and imaginative journey through American history—perfectly wrapped in red, white, and blue. —Hollywood Book Review

Blending historical context with delightful illustrations, playful dialogue, and even a brownie recipe, Whitham’s story offers a perfect balance of celebration and reflection. It’s ideal for read-aloud moments, classroom discussion, or quiet bedtime learning. 

For any parent or teacher seeking to introduce foundational American values to young readers in a meaningful and enjoyable way, Fourth of July Adventure is more than a holiday book—it’s a spark of inspiration. 

Kathleen Whitham’s Fourth of July Adventure earns the Gold Seal—A charming, patriotic story that inspires pride in the past, and hope for the future.
