A Children's Companion Guide to America's History

Catherine Millard wrote this 1993 companion volume for families who want American history taught through a lens that takes the Christian faith of the founders seriously. Thirty-one lessons span history and government, aimed at children ages 10 to 14, with full-page illustrations from original paintings and sculptures. It's designed to work alongside homeschool, public school, or Christian school curricula, and families seeking that explicitly faith-aligned historical framing will find it a natural fit. The honest caveats: critical reception from independent literary or academic sources is very limited, which makes quality assessment difficult, and the interpretive framework diverges meaningfully from mainstream academic historiography. Best suited for families who already know what perspective they want and are choosing this deliberately.
