Big George: How a Shy Boy Became President Washington by Anne Rockwell, Matt Phelan (Illustrator)
"...George told General Braddock he thought they should use the American Indian tactic of surprise attack. But Braddock insisted they march into battle in a long line, accompanied by a marching band to keep them in step. That was the British way. George lost his temper..."
Portrays George Washington as a shy boy who wasn't afraid of anything except talking to people, but who grew up to lead an army against the British and serve as the first President of the new nation.
