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.

Dumpling Soup
Dumpling Soup
Written by: Jama Kim Rattigan
Illustrated by: Lillian Hsu-Flanders
The author uses her childhood memories to write about New Year’s celebrations in Hawaii. The book develops a sense of family warmth associated with the holiday. Because the book is based on a personal memoir, it can be used to motivate children to write about their own memories about various family holidays.
