Great books should be a part of every homeschool! On this page you’ll find my recommendations for curriculum as well as children’s American history books.

New to homeschooling? Start here.

America’s Story is a wonderful curriculum for grades 3-6 from Master Books. Purchase here. (A high school version is coming in 2026!)

I have a list of excellent American history books for kids on NickiTruesdell.com (with a free PDF printable). Access it here.

We love Mystery of History for world history from about ages 8-18. You can see why and how we use it here.

If you’re a Texan (or wish you were!), check out my recommendations for Texas history here.
