Great Picture Books for American History

Making connections to world events helps us connect all of the dots to the timeline in history, and together, we make memories that will last a lifetime.

This is what walking through history with living stories looks like with The Peaceful Press. When you read stories about people and events you don't forget it, and these inspiring people help our children get inspired as well.

Learning through stories is a gift that will forever be a part of our family's hearts. 

Here are a few of the wonderful American history picture books that will give you and your children a visual journey through the United States and its historical timeline.
