Product Details

Real American history told as full-color graphic novels — the format that gets a kid to read history without arguing about it: 📜 The Creation of the U.S. Constitution by Michael Burgan, illustrated by Gordon Purcell and Terry Beatty — The Constitutional Convention of 1787: the arguments, the compromises, and how a fragile new country talked itself into a government. Makes a dry topic actually readable. 🇺🇸 Betsy Ross and the American Flag by Kay Melchisedech Olson, illustrated by Anna Maria Cool, Sam Delarosa and Charles Barnett III — The story of Betsy Ross and the first flag, including what historians can and can't prove about the legend. Both from Capstone's Graphic Library series. Each one includes a glossary, timeline, "More About" facts section, and further-reading list in the back — which is why libraries and classrooms buy these. Pairs with the Marco Polo graphic novel if you want a whole graphic-history set. Ages 8–12 · Nonfiction Graphic Novels / American History · Gently used
