		Colonial Voices: Hear Them Speak by Kay Winters illustrated by Larry Day Dutton Children's Books t’s December 16, 1773, and Boston is about to explode! King George wants to tax the colonists’ tea, and the patriots have had enough. Ethan, the printer’s errand boy, runs through town to deliver a message about an important meeting at Old South Church. As he makes stops along his route--at the bakery, the schoolhouse, the tavern and more--readers learn about colonial workers and their wide-ranging opinions about living under Britain’s rule. Notes about colonial life, a reading list, and a glossary are included in the back of this fascinating book that is like a field trip to a living history village.
