Children's Literature, Briefly

Chapter 13.... Biography

I really liked the definition that this book gives for a biography, in that a biography should "breathe life and meaning into people and events". I also think that it is good for children to get familiar with biographies through picture book biographies. This might be a good way to introduce biographies to children in a classroom. Afterwards, students could be encouraged to continue reading biographies on their own as they get older.
