"These so-called "children’s books" are for ANY age. They’re fun in their stories, they’re educational in the information they teach about NC history, and they’re instructional for English and writing teachers because of the word choice, vocabulary, and use of figurative language."
Cenda W., grandmother, educator, and former librarian
