Discover the diverse wildlife and people of Central America! This social studies book covers the cultures and landmarks throughout the seven countries known as the bridge between the Americas. Plants, animals, and people from all around the world converge in Central America. This teacher-approved book provides students opportunities to understand the lives of people from this beautiful isthmus, including the history of indigenous peoples in the region. The book covers the geography, history, economics, and civics of Central America in an easy-to-use way. With a glossary and index, key discussion questions, and other meaningful features, this book brings the biodiversity of Central America to life for students.
Alyxx Meléndez has written 17 books and plays for Teacher Created Materials. The first of these was All Aboard the Interstate, which was by far the most fun to research and write.
Alyxx received the Creative Voice Award from TCM in 2021. Alyxx is a poet at heart, and has written a handful of original songs supported by some charmingly mediocre noodling on the piano and guitar. Unfortunately for readers, these will never be published.
