By Jean Fritz illustrated by DyAnne DiSaleo-Ryan - This is the true story of Mary Washington, mother of George and several others. People said George even looked like his mom. When she wasn't worrying about being poor, she was poking her nose in her son, George's, business, baking gingerbread, and smoking a pipe. And she never liked to dress up. Jean Fritz paints a picture of the first U.S. President's mother with characteristic wit and humour.Iconographic
