God and the Founders
As told by the Eagle, Fox, Dove, and Rattle Snake
By CR Petersen

What did America's founders actually believe about God, religion, liberty, and the Constitution?

In this engaging and thoughtful children's book for ages 8-12, four unforgettable animal storytellers - the wise Bald Eagle, questioning Fox, peaceful Dove, and fiery Rattle Snake - guide young readers through the founding of the United States using the founders' own words whenever possible.

Through lively conversations, humor, disagreement, and adventure, readers explore:

• The Declaration of Independence
• The Constitution and Bill of Rights
• Freedom of religion and the First Amendment
• The beliefs and disagreements of the founders
• Early American symbols and traditions
• The struggle to balance liberty, faith, safety, and responsibility

Rather than presenting simple slogans, God and the Founders encourages young readers to think carefully about history, ideas, and differing viewpoints while remaining accessible and engaging for children.

Perfect for:

• Homeschool families
• Teachers seeking supplemental civics and history material
• Parents wanting thoughtful discussions about America's founding
• Classroom enrichment
• Constitution and government studies
• Readers interested in faith and American history

Written in a warm, story-driven style with memorable characters and historically grounded quotations, this book invites children and families to explore the complicated, fascinating, and deeply human story of America's beginnings together.
