A Calm Voice in a Roaring Time: The Story of Calvin Coolidge For Kids

In an age when the nation was bursting with new ideas, inventions, and energy, one leader stood out not for his loud voice—but for his quiet strength. This engaging story introduces young readers to the calm, thoughtful man who led America through the excitement and challenges of the 1920s with honesty, patience, and a steady hand. From a small-town boy in Vermont to the President of the United States, his journey shows that true leadership doesn't always mean talking the most or acting the fastest. It means thinking carefully, listening closely, and staying true to what's right—even when the world around you is rushing forward. Readers will step into a time of jazz and Model T cars, of big dreams and bold change, and see how one man's calm determination helped guide a growing nation. Through moments of triumph and hardship, this story shows how values like thrift, character, and persistence can make a lasting impact. Filled with inspiring lessons and fascinating details from history, this book reminds kids that quiet confidence can be just as powerful as loud ambition—and that sometimes, the most thoughtful voices are the ones that lead the way.
