HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW: OUR REVIEW OF YWAM PUBLISHING

 

I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.

     Our family has been enjoying the wonderful books from YWAM Publishing for over 4 years now. We were thrilled to find out we would be receiving and reviewing HEROES OF HISTORY George Washington Carver: From Slave to Scientist from the Heroes of History series.  My daughter Hope wanted to read it first, so you will hear about what she learned from this book today.  

     This is a softback book that can withstand years of use. We have our oldest one from 2017 and it still looks great even with much use.  This particular book is 190 pages and can be used by students of all ages.  Younger ones may need help when reading through it, but older students will read it with ease.  They are written well and easy to understand.  My kids were in elementary school when we started reading them and now in high school they still enjoy them.  They keep your focus and will teach so many wonderful facts about the person you are reading about.  

     Hope is in the 9th grade and it took her about a week to read through this book.  We also went over the digital study guide to reinforce some things she was reading about.  The digital study guide has so many amazing applications.  It can be used for supplemental curriculum in areas such as: 

• Creative Writing
• Drama
• Movie Critiquing 
• Reading Comprehension
• Essay Writing 
• History and Geography Concepts

     I asked Hope what she learned from the book and she said with tears in her eyes, "Mom, I can't believe what this man endured yet he still managed to live a wonderful life."  George Washington Carver was a man that was kidnapped as a baby and taken into slavery.  Instead of allowing his past to hurt him, he chose to rise from it and learn everything he could. He lost so much yet gained far more. His perseverance brought him out of bondage and into a life of wonder and amazement.  He became a  wonderful and creative Scientist whose experiments saved the southern economy from poverty. 

     Even though this man suffered he picked himself up and didn't quit.  He never allowed people to tell him he couldn't do something.  He purposed to do good with his knowledge and he did it!  He was acknowledged by many for the creative ways he came up with to save farms and use resources. I encourage you to get this book and read it for yourself.  You will be inspired by his story.
