Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A spunky biography of an influential American. This biography of Patrick Henry uses the title question to hook its middle grade audience. Patrick Henry was born on the 29th of May, and occasionally some important things happened on his birthday. But he did a lot of other things on days that weren’t his birthday. Young readers will learn all about Patrick Henry’s life and his role in the founding of the United States. What an interesting man, his story told engagingly and richly. I kept sharing passages with my family. The only quibble I have is with the illustrations. The thing about old-fashioned pictures is that they reinforce the idea that the past is separate, and different, and that people were more mythological than human in 'old days.' no reviews | add a review
