The American Book of Fables with Author Matt Mehan

Join us this week as we discuss the new book from author and Hillsdale Professor Matt Mehan: From the Everglades to the Great Lakes, The American Book of Fables. Dr. Mehan’s book reimagines Aesop through an American lens. Replacing classic animals with buffalo, eagles, and manatees, crafting tales that reflect faith, virtue, and freedom.

With sections for “Littles, Middles, and Bigs,” it offers something for all ages—from playful rhymes to thoughtful moral reflections. Beautifully illustrated by John Folley, this collection celebrates America’s spirit, inviting families to rediscover wisdom, gratitude, and self-government.

Constitutional Chats are hosted by Janine Turner, Cathy Gillespie, student ambassadors, and experts who join us weekly to discuss hot-topic issues! The audience is not on camera, but you may ask questions!
