Book Recommendations for California Elementary School Teachers - California H-SS Standards-adjacent Book Recommendations
List of books for UC Berkeley's History and Social Science Project class - includes books for different grade levels and covering different topics. I wanted to feature more indie titles here, but some seem to be available on Amazon but not on Bookshop. You can see the lists of books, broken down by grade, on the Manzanita website. Contact me with feedback on books listed or use the website to suggest books to add.
