Guest Post by Barbara Ann Mojica
One becomes a character in history at birth. History is full of blazing drama and emotions and kids can be real heroes if they understand where they came from, how the past shaped them, and how they can use what they have learned to create a better future. Kids will see that leaders come in all shapes and sizes, just like kids, and that life is filled with success and failures. Hop on board with Little Miss History and see how knowing history opens a window to understanding the present and building a brighter tomorrow.
Magical mountains carved with faces, mysterious murders, giant trees and secret submarines are just a few things that kids will learn about when they open a Little Miss History book.
The entertaining Little Miss History series of 13 books including Tombstone, Mt. Vernon, FDR Hyde Park, The North Pole, and her newest release Battleship Iowa make reading nonfiction a fun-filled adventure for elementary school and middle school readers. Not only are the stories compelling, but the illustrations mixed with real photos keep readers intrigued. Dressed like a wannabe park ranger character, Little Miss History takes kids on whirlwind adventures around the world and shows them iconic places that we all treasure.
