The Courage of Sarah Noble Book Study

A Paid Subscriber Living Book Unit Study

Our family delighted in learning about Sarah Noble and we hope that yours will, too! This riveting tale is based on a true story and really brings the pioneer era to life for young and old students alike.

In 1707, young Sarah Noble and her father traveled through the wilderness to build a new home for their family. “Keep up your courage, Sarah Noble,” her mother had said, but Sarah found that it was not always easy to feel brave inside. The dark woods were full of animals and Indians, too, and Sarah was only eight!

The true story of Sarah’s journey is inspiring. And as she cares for her father and befriends her Indian neighbors, she learns that to be afraid and to be brave is the greatest courage of all.
