This book is so well done! From the incredible artwork to the overall organization of the information, it is a treasure. Children need to be taught history in order to preserve important beliefs and freedoms in addition to learning from others’ mistakes.
It shares has a broad spectrum of notable historic moments. They aren’t always events or people we 100% agreed with, but it’s our country’s history…so we should be familiar with it!
The back of the book has additional information on each page’s topic, if it’s desired in your conversation with your children. Very helpful!
