Books with author Peter E. Hanson

Introduce young readers to history through the stories of both real and fictionalized people. By focusing on a single important episode that describes a historical event, these books engage readers' interests and imaginations. Written in a story format, each account relates events that really happened, often followed by a brief summary of the historical event to further explain the significance it had on history.

Children's picture book that tells the story, through the eyes of a young brother and sister, of a neighborhood being renewed --- and in particular, of the building of a new apartment building which becomes their new home. The children enjoy watching the building progress and though sad to see their old house eventually torn down, they are delighted to move into a new home with straight walls, a floor that didn't creak, a roof that didn't leak, and was warm in the winter --- and best of all, had neighbors now with plenty of children to play with.
