LISA TRUSIANI has written hundreds of stories and nonfiction books for children. Her work has received numerous awards, including The Maine Library Association's 2019 Lupine Honors Award for American Trailblazers: 50 Remarkable People Who Shaped U.S. History. Lisa grew up on the rocky Maine seacoast. She learned to appreciate geology from her rock miner grandfather and her mineral collector dad.
As a middle school teacher, I am always looking for books that bring history alive for students. Despite the popularity of the musical Hamilton, the United States Constitution can be a rather dry subject for many young people. Trusiani manages to make the topic sing. The Constitution is a living document, indeed! --Charlotte Agell, middle school teacher and author/illustrator This comprehensive, engaging read answers all the questions a young reader may have regarding the Constitution--why, how, when, where, and what does it mean for today. Trusiani writes with the reader in mind, clearly and thoroughly. A great read and a great resource! --Jennifer Meserve, first grade teacher
