This week on a special episode of #CivicParenting, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil M. Gorsuch and his co-author and former law clerk Janie Nitze join @JMSilverbrook to discuss their new children’s book, "Heroes of 1776: The Story of the Declaration of Independence." They also weigh in on how stories can help children connect with the founding era, why it matters to introduce young learners to both famous and lesser-known figures from our nation's past, and how families can use America's 250th anniversary as an opportunity to deepen civic curiosity, strengthen historical understanding, and help prepare the next generation for the responsibilities of citizenship and self-government. 🎧Listen to #CivicParenting to learn more: ow.ly/q5JY50Z7x12
