This book does a fairly good job of presenting some pretty tough historical info to kids (another book on my son's homeschool reading list). It doesn't gloss over the bad stuff so be prepared to discuss the fact that our nation has done some pretty awful things. Simple, easy-to-understand sentences, although the writing seemed a little choppy. Beautiful watercolor illustrations.

A good, simple book for early independent readers about the historical Trail of Tears. Bright illustrations help expand an early reader's understanding.
