This song celebrates the amazing story of Kate Shelley, a seventeen year-old American hero. In my women's history concert I tell the story of Kate (under the lyrics), and then sing the song with the children. The song is a simplified version of her amazing adventure both before and after the night of the storm, and easily sung by younger children. Imagine an age without Internet where a story was so amazing it was shared around the world! Check out your local library for one of the easy non-fiction picture books about Kate. Then sing the song! Here's a LINK to a more detailed article that will astound you. You can modify it for the ages you work with, and it's great for homeschooling, too.
