Here is an excerpt for the blog post "Who Hq Books Tested: Surprising Insight for Family Learning":

Setting out to explore options for family learning about key figures, we immersed ourselves in a collection that spanned different formats and ages. We found "Who Was Franklin Roosevelt?" offered engaging narrative bios, perfect for younger readers seeking context beyond dates. The "All Presidents of the United States of America USA 250 1776 T-Shirt," while a fun historical statement piece, wasn't a learning tool itself, sparking discussions about what wearing such a statement means. Complementing Franklin's story, "Who Was Abraham Lincoln?" provided a compelling parallel perspective. Interestingly, from our family's perspective, "Barack Obama: A Kid's Book About Becoming the First Black President," aimed at slightly older children, introduced a different aspect of coverage from the group, highlighting how perspectives can shift across presidencies. Testing these diverse approaches yielded valuable insights into finding resources that resonate differently depending on the child's developmental stage and the specific angle of historical inquiry.
