Noah Webster: Weaver of Words

40 pp. | Boyds/Calkins | November, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59078-441-9 $18.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Monica Vachula. As much a history of American language as it is a biography, this picture book shows how Noah Webster "believed that Americans could and should use their own language to break free totally from England." Though Webster is best known for his lexicography, the engaging text and detailed illustrations present a complete portrait of a driven patriot who helped form a nation. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
