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.

When This Cruel War Is Over: The Civil War Home Front
When This Cruel War Is Over: The Civil War Home Front
Written by: Duane Damon
"The civilians in the North and South were sorely tested during the Civil War. This book tells how they endured and how they assisted during four years of war. There were women who tended the wounded, artists who captured events with their pencils and sketchbooks, and slaves who fought in the Union army. The horrors of this war-the ravage of cities and waste of human lives is soulfully captured. A Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies and part of the "People's History" series."
