History Maker Bios for Kids

I found a history series for children at Barnes and Noble entitled “History Maker Bios”  that I really like and recommend. 

Children learn interesting content that familiarize them with predominant U.S. historical names like Thomas Jefferson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Dolley Madison, and Susan B. Anthony, etc.  Numerous authors write condensed historical biographies about U.S. presidents and patriots.  Let’s take a sneak peek at a few of the interesting facts about  Franklin D. Roosevelt:  

• He was elected to four consecutive terms as president
• He served longer than any president in U.S. history
• When he was 39, he developed polio that paralyzed his legs
• He led the U.S. through the Great Depression and World War II
• He used the radio to speak directly to the American people. His radio addresses became known as “fireside chats.” 

Each book contains a nice collection of real-life photos pulled from past archives to help your child become acquainted with faces of the past.

After reading this series, it will wet your child’s curiousity, and he or she will likely want to go to the library to check out more books with additional information about their favorite U.S. presidents or patriots. 

For about age 8+
