This blog was developed as a resource for teachers who are looking to incorporate high quality and award winning trade books into their social studies curriculum. I have compiled and cited various reviews on these books, and additionally have listed online resources that will help teachers use these books for instructional purposes.

Ann Richards: Politican, Feminist, Survivor
Ann Richards: Politician, Feminist, Survivor
Written by: Dorothy S. Siegel
"In this biography, Siegel describes the various life experiences, influences, and highlights of Richards's career, emphasizing her talent for entertaining oratory. The 10 short chapters, clearly reproduced black-and-white photos, and many apt quotations from Richards herself will enlighten students about this woman's personality and character. The author maintains objectivity throughout, carefully and truthfully discussing Richards' alcohol addiction, her family's reaction to the problem, and the treatment she received."
