From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-4-The story of Martha Washington's adult life is told in simplistic sentences set in large type and accompanied by a soft watercolor painting on each spread. The book begins with her marriage to Daniel Parke Custis and takes readers through her life with her second husband, George Washington. There is no information about her early years, where she was born, or her family. Her birth date is not mentioned in the text but is included in a chronology at the end.
