Our first grade team is looking for books at a first grade level for their historical fiction unit. Every year we struggle to find resources. PebbleGo is one resource that helps, but they would like print books. I have the Ordinary People Change the World series, but they need more. Do you have any suggestions for a series of biographies or other books that would fit their need? They are now also hoping to add a kid perspective....kids who have changed the world. I'm quite stumped! Very difficult finding anything that 1st graders can independently read on this. These are the people they would like:</div><div><ul><li style="margin-left:15px">Betsy Ross</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Booker T.
