I know it's summer--but stories are good year round, aren't they? Here is a story that goes along with this month's topic of Germany. But it really has to do with the healing powers of beauty and art in our lives.

WEMH #169 David Crockett

Well, he's better known as Davy Crockett. At least I hope your kids have heard of him! His motto was, "Be sure you're right--then go ahead!" He sacrificed his life at the Alamo. The final entry in his journal was: "Liberty and independence forever!"

WEMH #168 William Prescott

Prescott is best known for bringing the conquering of Mexico and Peru to life, which is why I am including him in our Month 9 studies. But it's his conquering the adversity of his own life that is of most interest to me. Also, as a writer, he has a thing or two to teach us about this month's Mother's University topic.

WEMH #167 DAvid Livingstone I Presume

4/22/2019

0 Comments

I have posted a new audio book in mybelmonde.com--The Story of David Livingstone. In today's podcast I give you a brief introduction to this wonderful hero. By the way, when they are available, I provide pdfs of the illustration taken from these books that are formatted for notebooking. You will find the pdf link just below the title.

Just a heads up--this isn't a story for little children. I leave it to your judgment.
