My friend, who homeschools, took her children to Philadelphia recently. She and her children visited a few spots where a professional story teller told them specific stories about famous people who resided in Philadelphia or historical events that took place there.
This book contains all the stories that one can hear when participating in Once Upon a Nation program.
Stories range from Lenape natives, to a woman accused of being a witch, a Quaker spy, the man who invented television to Boy Scout and Girl Scout stories. There are twenty stories total.
A perfect book to share when studying PA history or Philadelphia.
Once Upon a Nation's offers its Storytelling program seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day (*wish they offered during the school year for field trips!).
Warning: One story is about the nation's obsession with witches for awhile.
