Reviews for The History of the Constitution

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
