About the Author
Danielle Smith-Llera grew up in coastal Virginia, hearing unforgettable tales about her Mexican and Irish ancestors. She first moved overseas to teach in international schools in Hungary and Brazil. Life in the U.S. Foreign Service has taken her around the world to live in India, Jamaica, Romania, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and Washington, DC. She loves sharing stories--fiction, nonfiction, and a mixture of both--in classrooms, museum exhibits, and, of course, books.
Reviews
Gr 4–6—Americans love their myths. However, contrary to what many may think, Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball. There's no proof that Betsy Ross sewed the first flag. Abraham Lincoln wasn't the main speaker at Gettysburg. These are all part of the myths of U.S. history, explain the books in this series. Each compelling story is heavily illustrated with photos showing period settings set among large type. The language is age appropriate and chatty. This series is great for report writers, especially those who dare to expose ingrained myths. VERDICT Myth-dispelling can be an interesting way to look at history. These titles are solid choices for school and public libraries.
