Mary America, by Carole Marsh, Wins 2012 Teacher’s Choice Award for the Family

The votes are in! Mary America, First Girl President of the United States by beloved children’s author Carole Marsh has been selected for the 2012 Teacher’s Choice Award for the Family from Learning Magazine. The Teacher’s Choice Awards rely on panels of real teachers to review educational products and children’s books in their classrooms. Teachers make their evaluations and submit detailed comments, which are available a few weeks after the winners are announced.

Mary America, First Girl President of the United States, recommended for ages 7-12, is the story of a twelve-year-old girl who becomes president through a fluke in the law. Mary, who is an orphan, moves into the White House with her grandfather, brother, aunt and baby cousin to take on all the duties of the commander-in-chief with all the fun of a kid. Though she already has an exceptionally high IQ, she is always ready to learn about everything: democracy, finances, responsibility, perseverance, family and friendship – all while keeping up with her homework, of course.

The author, Carole Marsh, was thrilled to hear that Mary America, last year’s literary darling, was to be honored with the Teacher’s Choice Award. Like all of Marsh’s books, Mary has a mission: to entertain and educate young readers. Marsh is renowned for creating nine educational mystery series, including the award-winning Real Kids! Real Places! series, and is also the author of the critically-acclaimed history series, the Student’s Civil War, as well as the recent “tween” hit, WHEN KIDS TAKE OVER NASA, among many other cherished kids’ books, all of which she publishes through her own publishing house, Gallopade International.

Gallopade is a Georgia-based publisher specializing in children’s books and educational materials. Best known for children’s mysteries and social studies curriculum products, Gallopade is on the cutting edge of developing learning products for use inside the classroom and out. Founded in 1979 by Carole Marsh, Gallopade has garnered numerous awards including the iParenting Media Award, the Teacher’s Choice Award for the Classroom, and the Georgia Author of the Year Award.
