Reviews:
“Marian Carlson has created an enchanting, substantive history of John Adams, the driving force behind the Declaration of Independence and second only to George Washington in the founding of America. Richly illustrated with portraits and evocative historical prints, this young people’s story is also an invaluable refresher course for adults. As accompaniment to the Boston Landmarks Orchestra’s charming musical composition, this narrative reminds us that John Adam’s strength, wisdom, and courage in the face of mortal danger are not dusty historical facts, but the living soul behind ‘the voice heard ’round the world.’”
Diana Rowan Rockefeller, writer, poet, and former editor, Atlantic magazine
“John and Abigail Adams delighted in happy experiments, and they would be doubly pleased by this one. It will inspire anyone, of any age, who loves history and music ‘to dare to read, think, speak and write’ in our time, as they did in theirs.”
David Hackett Fischer, Pulitzer Prize Winner, Warren Professor of History at Brandeis Univ.
“This is an important work! It’s a great story, I love it!”
Jean Fritz, award-winning children’s book author
“John Adams would be pleased to have his life and accomplishments celebrated in this fashion that brings together history, music, and patriotism. John Adams: The Voice Heard ’Round the World captures the spirit and character of one of our nation’s most important founding Fathers. Just as Abigail reminded him to ‘Remember the Ladies’ so this work teaches us to ‘Remember John Adams.’”
William Fowler, Distinguished Professor of History, Northeastern University
“…a unique artistic and literary perspective on John Adams, the leading figure of the most important family in American history.”
Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard University
