A Note From A Book In Time Author, Carol Henderson

A Book in Time was written by a teacher for other teachers. The original project started simply as a chronological history booklist, but listings of crafts, timelines, maps, and other resources have been added over the years. Our purpose is to help history teachers find all kinds of extracurricular resources to enrich their classes!
 A Book In Time first began years ago when I wanted my students to read some good history books along with our textbook, but was unpleasantly surprised at what a challenge it was to find them. The only history booklists available featured every title in print, and sifting through them to choose one or two of the better books was a chore. Other booklists featured great books in general, but required a detailed search through every title and description to find a selection based on history AND set in the right time period. But I combed these lists, and the search was on!
As I found great books, I made a note of each of them, and slowly my notes began to take shape into the booklist that it is today. A Book In Time is published here in order to direct you to the best books based on major historical people and events found in a typical school history study. Because I am a homeschooling mom, I have had the opportunity to teach almost all grades and almost the entire scope of history, resulting in a comprehensive selection. Since I am still teaching history both at home and at a large homeschool Co-op, the search for great new titles continues, and the list is still growing.
With the additional listings of Online History Games, Kids Crafts, Timelines, and Maps, you can create a history adventure that your students will love. Of course, how to best coordinate all of this is explained in detail in my Ebook, "Teaching History Beyond the Text."
This website is a continual work in progress, and the best way to keep up with all the latest finds is to subscribe to our newsletter (see below to sign up!). Please feel free to send me your comments and suggestions, and any great book or internet resource to share with everyone!
