Joan of Arc: A Picture Book About the Village Girl Who Led France to Independence for Children (Ages 4-8)

Review: Excellent and Engaging History for Students (and their Teachers) - I love Diane Stanley's children's biographies! This reads like an exciting chapter book, even as it incorporates details and quotations from primary sources. My kids (1st - 8th grade) were completely engrossed, and begging to finish it when I said we had to save the second half for the next day. The violent end of Joan of Arc's life is not sugar-coated, but is handled quite tastefully. My six-year-old daughter could appreciate the story without inappropriate subjects coming up, while my middle schoolers and I could clearly understand some of the terrible circumstances that plagued her in her captivity and death. Some features I find particularly valuable as an educator include: - Detailed, beautiful, and engaging illustrations to draw readers in and help them to visualize unfamiliar scenes. - Maps drawn especially to accompany pages where specific places are mentioned; they include just enough detail to orient the reader and pique the children's interest, without overwhelming them with too much information - A historical note at the end of the book explaining what source material was used and how it was incorporated. This was written carefully enough that the students were still willing to sit through it as well. Introducing children to the idea of source material, and that how it's handled matters, is extremely important... perhaps more important than it has ever been before. - A clear and concise section guiding readers (including young students) through how to consider the historicity of events surrounding a subject who claimed to see supernatural visions. This facilitated discussion of the difference between observable facts, personal testimony, etc.
Review: Needed for Ambleside Online curriculum Year 2 (Y2) - This has a lot of info for a picture book! Enjoyable and good details. This is the specific book scheduled by the Ambleside Online homeschool curriculum for Year 2 (this could change but it has been scheduled in Y2 for a long time and is correct at the time of this review).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book
*by S***D on September 11, 2013*

My son asked me if there had been any female knights. I thought of Joan of Arc and ordered this book. He was 5 at the time I purchased it and it held his interest all the way through. The illustrations were beautiful and there was just the right level of information / detail. There were some spots where it was tough for me, as I was reading it aloud, to keep track of the timing as far as how many years this was all taking place through, but I think for the intended audience, that is fine, and we can delve further into it with more mature works as the kids get older. All in all, an excellent introduction to Joan of Arc.
