David Miles, cofounder of Bushel & Peck Books, released this gem in 2021.
It begins with a history of the 13 colonies that leads up to when they decided to part ways with England.
The bulk of the book is the original text of the Declaration of Independence with side by side modern day English translations to make it more understandable for kids.
Along the way, there is plenty of information giving historical context as well as questions that prompt readers to think about what the Declaration is saying and how it might apply to today.
Bushel and Peck has it listed on their website in their ages 7 to 10 section as well as their 11 to 13 section.
It’s a great resource for engaging kids with this revolutionary document that changed the world.
