In an effort to inspire the next generation with tales of bravery and freedom, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is set to release a children’s book titled “Heroes of 1776: The Story of The Declaration of Independence.” Slated for publication in May 2026, the book arrives just before the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a pivotal moment in American history.

Justice Gorsuch, in a recent interview with Fox News, expressed his desire to share the courageous sacrifices of the figures from 1776 who helped establish the United States Constitution and secure American liberties. "I just wanted to share with children some stories about the courage and sacrifice of the heroes behind 1776 who gave us our Constitution and our liberties," Gorsuch stated. He added, “I just wanted to inspire young people to think about doing great things like that themselves.”

"Heroes of 1776" is not just a recount of historical events; it aims to instill a sense of purpose and heroism in young readers. By focusing on the narratives of those who fought for America's independence, Gorsuch hopes to motivate children to appreciate the values of freedom and democracy and perhaps one day contribute their own part to the nation's legacy.

As the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaches, this book could serve as a crucial educational tool, helping parents and teachers discuss the importance of this historic document and the foundational principles of the United States with younger audiences.

With "Heroes of 1776," Gorsuch joins a unique circle of Supreme Court Justices who have ventured into the world of children's literature, using their insights and experiences to educate and inspire future generations. The upcoming release has already sparked interest among educators, historians, and families eager to provide children with a deeper understanding of their national heritage.

As America prepares to celebrate a quarter-millennium of independence, "Heroes of 1776" promises to be a timely and enlightening addition to children's literature and educational resources.
