xConnect geology to history and culture--and discover why the Grand Canyon continues to shape the United States today.
Carved by the Colorado River and shaped by time, the Grand Canyon is an iconic U.S. landmark. In Our Grand Canyon, kids discover how it formed over millions of years and why it's still important to us today. Along the way, children connect geography to history as they learn how people have studied and protected this natural wonder across generations. The book supports early social studies by helping kids ask questions, notice patterns, and build background knowledge about landforms, communities, and the ways a landmark can shape culture and identity.

- Supports early social studies learning with clear, engaging text features
- Highlights the canyon's changing story across time, from ancient origins to today
The Remarkable Landmarks series helps children connect places to the stories and ideas that shaped the United States. Each book asks a question that invites children to explore a famous landmark as young geographers and historians. With vivid photographs, kid-friendly explanations, and prompts that spark discussion, the series is perfect for curious kids who love learning through real places.
