About this book

Alexander Hamilton: An Inspiring Biography for Young Readers by Christine Platt tells the life story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the most important Founding Fathers in American history.

This biography is designed for independent reading by children ages 6 to 9, with short chapters and simple language. The book includes critical thinking elements such as Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How questions about Hamilton's life, vocabulary definitions, and discussion prompts.
