Readers meet this extraordinary man of contradictions: a genius who proclaimed that \"All men are created equal\" and championed the rights of \"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,\" while at the same time living a life that depended on the enforced labor of slaves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders experience an eventful life lived largely in public service, yet also enjoy the personal warmth of this fascinating historical figure. The narrative examines the crucial role that the \"sage of Monticello\" played in shaping the ideals of freedom and self-government, which became the cornerstones of American democracy. The author's conversational storytelling, her richly detailed illustrations, and use of period maps bring to life the exciting times of Thomas Jefferson on every page. This appealing and insightful biography is an honest, well-balanced portrait of a complex and controversial American legend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNational Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.\u003cbr\u003eVisit www.natgeoed.org\/commoncore for more information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheryl Harness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1426300433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426300431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Geographic Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.82h x 8.46w x 0.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e75939 \/ Thomas Jefferson\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cheryl Harness","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419490402559,"sku":"9781426300431","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96ab376d-50a3-40a8-8c89-5e115afe4321.jpg?v=1761511854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thomas-jefferson-cheryl-harness-9781426300431","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
