We're moving through American history at such a rapid pace with Olivia and Katherine! There never seems to be enough time to learn all of the things that I want to discover. As I type, I can hear Benjamin practicing his All-State audition excerpts and Katherine working through her piano book. Engaging in lifelong learning brings our family much joy!
Here is a list of some of the books (by some of my favorite authors!) that we're enjoying as we learn about the Chicago's Worlds' Fair and the Statue of Liberty and people who were living at the end of the 19th century:
"The Story of the Statue of Liberty" by Betsy and Giulio Maestro
"Mr. Ferris and His Wheel" by Kathryn Gibbs Davis
"The Copper Lady" by Alice and Kent Ross
"Marvelous Mattie: How Margaret E. Knight Became an Inventor" by Emily Arnold McCully
"Naming Liberty" by Jane Yolen
"The Fantastic Ferris Wheel: The Story of Inventor George Ferris" by Betsy Harvey Kraft
"Liberty!" by Allan Drummond
"Always Inventing: A Photobiography of Alexander Graham Bell" by Tom L. Matthews
"A Picnic in October" by Eve Bunting
