March is Women's History Month - Dolley Madison
I recently saw a great show about this first lady - PBS American Experience. Widowed at an early age, her first husband died in the Fever epidemic in Philadelphia in 1793 (see former post), she married James Madison and was the first woman to champion causes as first lady.
Another Adler biography traces the accomplishments and historical facts sourrounding this courageous lady who saved a painting during the War of 1812. This is a great story to begin sharing with young girls (and boys).

Those "Picture books of..." always have such great info in them! Glad to hear Spring is on it's way for you. We are beginning to feel it here the beaver (our groundhog) recently poked his head out and wandered about the ice and many more birds are returning to the feeder.
