Children’s Books and Educator ResourcesParents and educators like IHS Press children’s books because while children are absorbed in reading these fully illustrated, affordable books, they are also learning about historical subjects such as Indiana’s pioneer period, the Underground Railroad, important Hoosiers and family history. Plus, educator resources for many of the children’s books can be downloaded for free here. |
