Whether your child devours history or groans at the mention of it, Graphic U.S. History meets him where he is with bold visuals, fast-paced storytelling, and bite-sized text that packs a punch.
Covering key moments from the 1500s to Barack Obama's inauguration, this 12-book set transforms American history into a thrilling visual journey. Speech bubbles in yellow hold snappy character dialogue, while blue text delivers the facts. It's easy to follow, exciting to read, and hard to forget.
Reluctant readers will love the comic-style storytelling. Passionate readers will appreciate the clever pacing and powerful artwork. And everyone walks away with a stronger grasp of America's story, without the usual textbook trudge.
