Description: "Tate put off writing his fourth grade history paper until the last minute and would still rather play outside with his friends than work on the paper. While staring blankly at a picture that includes a group of people who made an impact on the history of the United States, he suddenly finds himself interacting with them. Through interesting dialogue and questions, Tate learns how these historic figures worked together or influenced each other. As a result of his experience, he is motivated to learn more and feels that he, too, can make a difference" -- Page 4 of cover.
Notes: "This story of Tate was inspired by the painting "The Time has come" by Derell Spicy" -- Notes from the authors.
