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.

"This radiant story about the power of the Torah is illustrated by Marjorie Priceman, a Caldecott Honor-winning artist. The atmospheric art brings this celebration of Jewish immigrant life in the 1930s America to exuberant life.
