Florida Heritage Kids
An exciting story of adventure from Spanish Settlement to the Modern Era of Florida.
Meet Alonso, Holata, Thomas, Madeleine, and Ruby—five young people who lived through some of the most pivotal events in America’s 27th state.
Imagine you and your best friend are soldiers storming an enemy fort in the middle of a hurricane! Or you are a young Indian warrior helping rescue your people. Imagine fleeing from a cloud of mosquitoes so big it blocks out the sun. Or moving as a ten-year-old to a tropical paradise. Imagine not being able to attend school until you are nine years old, and then jumping right into learning because your whole future has taken a turn for the better.
Original color illustrations, timelines, questions to answer, and suggested “Places to Visit” help young readers connect to these stories about life in Florida. Once you get to know the Florida Heritage Kids, your view of the Sunshine State will never be the same!
Beautiful Hand-Drawn Illustrations Bring Florida History to Life.

“We must be mindful of our heritage, culture, and natural resources, so that we preserve and share the specialness that drew all of us here in the first place. Indeed, Florida Heritage Kids helps do this by growing the next generation of leaders and stewards of Florida.”
“Developing stories with five children, each representing an age in Florida’s History, the authors deftly weave engrossing narratives of the life and times of five eras. Both educational and engaging, this is an excellent introduction to Florida’s history for young learners.”
“As a homeschool mom and a native Floridian I was surprised at how much I learned alongside my kids while reading Florida Heritage Kids. Living books like this make learning delightful. Each of the stories engaged our imaginations while yet telling the true history of Florida.”
