Interactive Learning
For You, My Future Hero is a guide designed for children that teaches them the Pledge of Allegiance and provides a glimpse into the history, symbols, and values of the United States. Did you learn anything that surprised you throughout your research and writing process?
I truly believe interactive learning is the most effective way to teach. Therefore, I was quite surprised by the lack of children’s books using this method to engage young readers.
Why was it important for you to provide a mix of historical content with an emphasis on kindness and respect?
One day, I was waiting to eat at a busy restaurant. There was only one bench in the waiting area, and I was horrified how three young kids were sitting there playing on their cell phones, as senior citizens were standing around them. Not one child offered their seat to an elderly person, and the parents were too engaged in conversation to notice. It was a harsh realization how values such as courtesy and respect are not being instilled in youth today.
With the popularity of cell phones, the internet, and television, humanism is diminishing. That is why, in addition to historical content, the concept of character was gently addressed.
Can we look forward to more children’s books from you soon? What are you currently working on?
The three characters holding hands on the back cover inspired an upcoming trilogy. The first book focused on “Georgie,” who was learning the Pledge of Allegiance. The next two books will spotlight “Bella,” the Liberty Bell, and finally, “Libby,” the Statue of Liberty.

They’ll learn the meaning behind the Pledge, explore the history of the American flag, and understand the importance of symbols like the Statue of Liberty. This engaging activity book also encourages children to reflect on what it means to be a hero, promoting kindness, bravery, and responsibility.
Perfect for classrooms or home learning, For You My Future Hero helps foster patriotism and encourages children to become “Future Heroes” in their own lives.
For You, My Future Hero
This educational children’s book follows Georgie, a cheerful little guide, as he helps young readers learn the Pledge of Allegiance while exploring the history, symbols, and values of the United States. Along the way, the story introduces children to important ideas like loyalty, courage, perseverance, and kindness, weaving in fun activities, questions, and creative prompts. Through historical figures like Betsy Ross, Bob Heft, George Washington, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the book connects history with personal values, encouraging children to see themselves as “Future Heroes” who can live with respect and character. It is both an educational tool and an uplifting celebration of America’s ideals.
I found the writing to be both playful and inviting. The author speaks directly to children in a warm and conversational style, which makes the book feel less like a lesson and more like a shared adventure. I liked how it balanced big ideas like justice and liberty with simple questions about favorite foods, sports, and dreams. This made the content approachable and personal, and it gave young readers room to connect their everyday experiences with the deeper meanings of symbols like the flag or the Statue of Liberty.
Emotionally, the book struck me as hopeful and earnest. I appreciated the emphasis on kindness, respect, and character, which gave the book a gentle moral center without being preachy. The activities sprinkled throughout, like drawing, pretending, and filling in blanks, made the book interactive and fun. The book’s spirit is more than patriotic, it’s about being a good person in small, everyday ways. That gave me a warm, encouraging feeling as I read. I really enjoyed the colorful graphic art, especially Georgie, who was adorable with his United States–shaped body, big eyes, and a charming Uncle Sam top hat.
I think For You My Future Hero is a delightful resource for parents and teachers who want to introduce young children to the Pledge of Allegiance and the values it represents. It would be especially good for early elementary classrooms, homeschooling families, or as a gift for a child who loves activity books. The writing is friendly, the lessons are meaningful, and the tone inspires children to see themselves as heroes in the making.
