We've been homeschooling since 2007 and I love your book lists. My husband recently wrote a picture book to help kids learn about protectionism. Johnny's Jelly Bean Tacos - It even rhymes and employs quality vocabulary.

With sales down at his taco restaurant, Johnny Van Socken invents a new delicacy that becomes an instant success: jelly bean tacos! Unfortunately for Johnny, his success poses a threat to some of the local business owners. When the other business owners convince the local government to pass rules to control the sale of jelly bean tacos, Johnny stands up to protect his rights as a businessman, as well as the rights of his customers.

I would love to send you a copy to review. Please let me know if you are interested.

The treehuggers book reminded me of Luna & Me - "the true story of a girl who lived in a tree to save a forest." I read it to several classes last year and all enjoyed it.

We also love the "Ordinary People Change the World" series by Brad Meltzer. Both the I am Rosa Parks and I am Martin Luther King, Jr. books have great information about protesting and social justice.
