Illustrated by Alex Portal and published with support from Saratoga County and the Campaign for Saratoga250 Inc., this thought-provoking story explores themes of family, community, and the personal impact of historic change. Perfect for young readers and families, this program invites you to reflect on the past and its relevance today through the power of storytelling.
