Five Children’s Books For Presidents’ Day
On Monday, February 21st, the United States celebrated Presidents’ Day. This holiday, which falls on George Washington’s birthday, honors everyone who has served as President of the United States.
We’ve recommended some books that showcase what it takes to be president, who has done it before, and even books that can help children imagine what it would be like if they ran for office. For each book, we included a link to Amazon to purchase. We encourage you to link your account with Amazon Smile, so that a small percentage of your purchases go to a charity of your choice. Once you sign up, you can select the Center for Creative Education for donation.
