Some of Our Favorite Books
I love history because I love a good story. The characters and events of our past make for dramatic retellings and can be great fodder for children’s stories.
Here are some of our favorite books and videos, organized by era. Some are, strictly speaking, more accurate than others, but all are enjoyable and can be a great conversation starter with little ones.
