The Drum Across the Delaware
On a freezing Christmas night, a young drummer boy named Ben is frightened to cross the icy Delaware River with the Continental Army. When Ben slips and delays the crossing, General George Washington kneels beside him and quietly tells the truth about fear, showing that courage can walk with shaking knees. Ben finds a small, steady way to help, and his drum becomes part of the army's brave crossing. The story gently shows that being scared does not mean you cannot be brave.
