Abstract:
Based on the book Thank you, Sarah by Laurie Halse Anderson: We the people of the United States almost LOST Thanksgiving? Way back when "skirts were long and hats were tall" Americans were forgetting Thanksgiving, and nobody seemed to care, except Sarah Hale.
Based on the book Now and Ben by Gene Barretta: Now and then, we think about Ben. Dr. Benjamin Franklin, to be precise. We think about his many inventions and the impact they continue to have on our lives.
Based on the book Neo Leo by Gene Barretta: Leonardo, born in 1452, is primarily renowned as a painter. In this book, you will become acquainted with the Leonardo da Vinci who was also an inventor, engineer and scientist.
Based on the book Abraham Lincoln comes home by Robert Burleigh: When Abraham Lincoln was shot in Washington, D.C., in 1865, the country was swept by shock. Upon his death came a huge outpouring of grief and sympathy for the courageous president who had guided the nation through the civil war.
Based on the book Pink and Say by Patricia Polacco: This Civil War story was passed from great-grandfather to grandmother; to son, and finally to the author-artist herself, Patricia Polacco. It is the true story of Sheldon Russell Curtis and Pinkus Aylee, two Union soldiers.
Based on the book Beatrice's goat by Page McBrier: More than anything, Beatrice wants to be a schoolgirl. But in her small African village, only children who can afford uniforms and books can go to school.
