Help your child discover and understand exactly what makes South Carolina so great - and perhaps learn a thing or two yourself! WHY blackwater rivers in South Carolina get so dark? (Hint: It has to do with rotting plants!) HOW palmetto trees and sand helped defeat the British in 1776? (Hint: It has to do with surprisingly soft landings at Fort Moultrie!) Find these answers and more in the South Carolina edition of What's So Great About This State? Arcadia Kids is a series of fun, colorful, easy-to-read books for children ages 7-11 featuring attention-grabbing cover art, inviting conversational style content, and vivid full-color images of landmarks and geography.

Kate Boehm Jerome loves to write educational books for kids! Her award-winning programs are avidly read by thousands of young people in homes and schools throughout the United States. Jerome has spent an entire career developing educational programs for kids. After spending 15 years in educational publishing, she made the leap to full-time writing in 2001.

Jerome's books have earned Teacher's Choice and Children's Book Council awards, and her new series that is currently launching "Cool Stuff Every Kid Should Know" (Arcadia, 2010) is already receiving kudos from the very people who often inspire her the most--the mommy bloggers!
