A few years ago I was asked by one of my son’s teacher about genealogy books suitable for first grade level.  I figured there had to be a lot of relevant books out there.  Was I ever shocked when trying to find a book that a teacher could read in class, without complicated terms, and could be used to spark interest in kids to find out more about their family.

I finally found Evie Finds Her Family Tree by Ashley B. Ransburg that keeps it simple and opens discussions regardless of family structure.

There is a simple family tree poster included which kids could fill out with help from an adult.

I will keep looking for more books that kids can relate to and get interested in genealogy.
