Frequently Asked Questions
What ages is this for?
Ages 6-12.
Does my child start with the current month's letter?
No — every child starts at Letter 1, whenever you join, and works through all 12 letters in order.
How long does it last?
12 months, 12 letters total. It's a finite series, not an endless subscription.
Are these real historical letters?
No. They are original, imagined-voice letters based on real facts, written in first person at the moment of a hero's bold choice. The parent card in every mailing says so plainly, and includes sources and discussion prompts.
Can I cancel? Does a prepaid gift auto-renew?
Monthly ($13/month) can be cancelled anytime. Prepaid ($130 one-time for the full series) does not auto-renew — perfect for a gift.
When will the first letter arrive?
Order by the 5th and your first letter mails on the 15th of the month.
Give them heroes who look like them.
Your child talks about courage, not just dates.
Your family talks about bold choices at the dinner table.
Your child sees themselves as the next chapter - not just learning history, but ready to make it.
