Mary Montero is a teacher, an avid Titanic enthusiast, and the writer behind the teacher's resource blog, Teaching With a Mountain View. After becoming captivated by the story of Titanic at the age of eight, she made it her mission to pass on the Titanic's legacy to her students. She created an experience-based class on the Titanic, attends Titanic dinners at the Molly Brown House, hosts an annual commemorative Titanic tea with her family, and is a member of the Titanic Historical Society.
"As a school librarian, I have heard on more than one occasion,
'Where are the books on the Titanic?' Unfortunately, the ones we
have simply aren't that engaging for young readers. That is until
now. At last, here is a well-written, informative book about the
passengers on the Titanic specifically for elementary school
students. I can confidently recommend and hand it to students
knowing they'll be hooked hearing about the ship's maiden voyage
from those who were there--from the captain and crew to the first,
second, and third class passengers. All the Voices of the Titanic
are heard in Montero's engaging book."--Mike Rawls, librarian
"Mary Montero has written an enthralling book that brings the
Titanic's diverse passengers and crew up from the depths of history
and sets them sailing through your imagination. This is the kind of
history book that kids, parents, AND teachers love."--Luke Rosa,
teacher and curriculum writer
"Students all around the world will benefit from reading multiple
perspectives from the dear people of the Titanic. Mary's excitement
for history and literature dazzles each word and leaves the reader
with a true picture of this tragic day. When a child closes Voices
of the Titanic, they will be Titanic historians. Every classroom
needs this book in their library!"-Courtney Hinshaw of Ramona
Recommends, 3rd Grade Teacher
