Mom Thoughts
This is a very simplified biography of Betsey Stockton’s life aimed at children ages four to eight. The illustrations are realistic enough for it to not seem like a fairy tale, but soft enough to appeal to younger children. Reading biographies about great people of faith is something that is important for Christian of any age, and this is a great introduction to a godly woman who did big things for God.
