These books and their corresponding curriculum are an outstanding resource for teachers. As the immediacy of September 11th fades, it is imperative that young Americans learn about the heroes of that terrible day. Drawing on many personal connections, Kristie Kiernan Bouryal has written a thoughtful, age-appropriate series of books that explain the events and aftermath of 9/11 and reveal many of the heroes of 9/11.
—Maryland Educator Mike Chrvala
Bouryal's desire is to educate through real-life conversations, and her books are a great resource for parents, grandparents, and teachers to use to initiate those conversations. The more we tell, the more they will know. And the more they know, the less they will forget.
