This blog was developed as a resource for teachers who are looking to incorporate high quality and award winning trade books into their social studies curriculum. I have compiled and cited various reviews on these books, and additionally have listed online resources that will help teachers use these books for instructional purposes.

Written and Illustrated by: Eve Bunting
"Tony doesn’t understand why his family always has a picnic in October on Liberty Island to celebrate Lady Liberty’s birthday until the day he helps out a woman who doesn’t speak English and he comes to understand what the statue means to his grandmother."
