Books

Each year since 2003 the National Endowment for the Humanities has  identified a theme important to the nation's heritage and selects books that embody that theme. This collection of theme-related books is the We the People Bookshelf. In addition to introducing young readers to good literature, the Bookshelf promotes understanding of abstract or general ideas through the power of particular stories.
