What’s Old is New Again - Boomers’ Beloved Biographies Visit Western Kentucky Book Expo
(PRWEB) October 20, 2004 -- An 8-year-old girl confined to bed with a debilitating illness. A series of books with bright orange covers--dead. A series of books with bright orange covers--reborn.
Lost for decades, a classic series of childrens books featuring the childhoods of American heroes and heroines is back! Stop by the Western Kentucky Book Expo at the John A Arnold Convention Center in Sturgis KY on Oct. 30 and meet that 8-year-old girl (now a grown-up), Florrie Binford Kichler, who has reintroduced a classic childrens book series to todays kids.
The newly-named Young Patriots Series titles were originally published 50 years ago as the Childhood of Famous Americans Series", known by millions of baby-boomers as the orange biographies due to their bright orange covers. Forty years after a long childhood illness that began Ms. Kichlers love affair with reading AND those orange biographies, she founded her company with the mission of reintroducing the old series, long since out of print, to todays children.
Kids are kids no matter what century they live in, notes Florrie. Whether its George Rogers Clark longing for the outdoors while sitting in school or Amelia Earhart riding her homemade roller coaster off the shed roof, children of today, just as the children of the 1950s and 1960s, will recognize themselves in each one of the Young Patriots Series heroes and heroines.
Come visit Ms. Kichler at the Western Kentucky Book Expo on Saturday, Oct. 30, and learn more about how the old CAN become new again!

What Books Do Children Like?
Parents at times don't realize how critical it is to read to their children as early as infancy. Reading to a little one can promote a child's strong, cerebral, and emotional development. Any positive interaction between parent and child is helpful such as speaking, reading, and playing easy games. We want to make the most of every situation and build it into a learning event. Reading is a hands down way to attain this.
