IT HAPPENED IN SALEM written by Jonah Winter and illustrated by Brad Holland

Jonah Winter & Brad Holland’s IT HAPPENED IN SALEM is the kind of book that I love sharing with older children because of the rich discussion it had the potential to stimulate. This book begins before the title note with ““It could happen anywhere-at any time. IT HAPPENED IN SALEM.” Thoughtful in word, picture, and perspective it unites US history and personal feelings in the story of how whispering hurtful things about people caused the deaths of 20 people and the jailing of 200.   Find out more about this book in the purchase link below.
