The Greco-Persian Wars was one of the turning points of history, when little Greece faced the might of the greatest empire on Earth - Persia. Learn about the battles, the strategies, the leaders, and the world in which they lived in this book written by forty-four 4th graders. In the winter of 2018, the students began learning about the Greco-Persian Wars as part of their study of ancient Greece. They quickly discovered that there were no books for children their age on this exciting subject. So, they decided to write one of their own. This book is entirely student-created: they wrote the text, drew the illustrations, and laid out the two-page spreads. At the same time, the fourth graders saw one of the episodes of The Kindness Diaries that included a segment about children of the Siddharth United Social Welfare Mission (SUSWM) in Calcutta, India, who didn't have access to clean water. SUSWM received a water treatment system at the end of the episode, but the student-authors wanted to help other children who needed clean water. So, all of the proceeds from this book will go to help provide water treatment to schools and orphanages that need it.
