Share the amazing American story with your children with Our Patriots, a one-of-a-kind coloring book sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Bring the varied quilt of colonial America to life with these tales of American heroes—Black and white, male and female. Our Patriots shows that wars are won and nations built through the collaboration of soldiers, politicians, merchants, nurses, and more.

America earned her independence through the efforts of countless Revolutionaries who made possible the formation of one of the world’s greatest nations with their dedication and fearlessness. Our Patriots brings the stories of these Americans to life with vivid and engaging coloring pages. From iconic leaders like George Washington and Alexander Hamilton to lesser-known heroes like Simeon Ashbow Jr. and James Dew, this coloring book features both male and female Revolutionaries while also highlighting the accomplishments of patriots of African and indigenous descent. Children throughout our country should know the stories of those who made America possible, and in Our Patriots illustrator Laura Murray and the Daughters of the American Revolution present tales from all thirteen colonies, stretching from New Hampshire to Georgia.

Our Patriots is a fun way to learn about the American Revolution. Within this book’s pages, you’ll discover the iconic figures of American Independence such as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and many others. You can color in Betsy Ross’s flag while reading about the history of its design. A coloring book becomes an important educational tool when it combines craft with such great information.

—Robert Kluin, director of marketing and communications, Plimoth Patuxet Museums

An activity book for kids of all ages. Our Patriots is a fun, colorful way to learn about many of the important figures in the American creation story.

—RIck Atkinson, author of The British Are Coming

I love this book! Our Patriots is not an ordinary coloring book, but one rich in detailed historical facts and drawings about each of the 13 original colonies and the people that helped to create our nation. Thoughtfully researched, it could easily serve as a fun and creative resource for teachers. There is an extensive glossary of terms and a genealogical research guide that can help you find out if YOU have an ancestor who served during the American Revolution!
