Introduce your first grade student to American History with this age-appropriate, richly illustrated spine. Sixty chapters, across two volumes, introduce children to a wide range of people and events. Some of them are well known, like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Some are far more obscure like Dave the Potter, an enslaved African American who inscribed rhymes on his pots at a time when the enslaved were forbidden from learning to read.
You’ll cover several early presidents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and the American flag. You’ll learn about events in almost every one of the 50 states. You’ll learn about people from a range of religions and ethnicities, with diverse skin colors and contributions. For animal lovers, we have a chapter focused on the Pony Express.
This book is included in Sonlight A. If purchasing individually, don't forget to purchase the 2nd volume to complete your overview of American History.
