George Washington's Spectacular Spectacles

In this engaging audiobook, Selene Castrovilla reveals a charming and lesser-known aspect of George Washington's life: his struggle with glasses and the pivotal moment it brought during a tense situation after the Revolutionary War. Faced with his officers planning to demand overdue wages from Congress, Washington's heartfelt speech initially fails to sway them. However, when he dons his spectacles to read a letter from Congress, they recognize his sacrifices and renew their loyalty to both him and their country. Through careful research and playful prose, Castrovilla brings forth Washington's more human side in this humorous yet significant tale of American loyalty.
