September 11, 2001: A Day in History is designed to provide children ages 7-14 with a sensitive, but factual, account of what occurred on a defining day in our history. Written in plain language with soft illustrations, the book describes the sequence of events as they unfolded from a perspective to which school age children can relate. The book does not speculate as to causes of the shocking acts of September 11 and recognizes that closure may be long in coming. Instead, it enables children and their parents to understand how America changed at home and how our role in the world was forever altered.
