For years families have searched in vain for children’s history books that would both educate and entertain. It is with this objective that AmeriTales Entertainment™ was founded. Our book series introduces historical American leaders to children in a fun and engaging way.
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in San Diego, California, AmeriTales Entertainment™ is the only character-based family entertainment, publishing and licensing brand devoted to introducing American History to children.
At AmeriTales our mission is to make history accessible to all children. By adopting the popular story-telling technique of action-adventure stories, AmeriTales has developed a new way to introduce young readers to American History.
We have partnered with teachers to ensure that our stories will not only entertain children but help them to learn and grow. All of our titles have an underlying lesson about American values that parents and teachers can be pleased to share with children.
Our dream is for every child to have a dream. What’s your dream?
T.D. Carter is the author of the first three titles in the AmeriTales book series.

While Carter writes to entertain, she also writes with a purpose. Each AmeriTales story provides a valuable lesson in character education. In fact, Carter has been recognized for her efforts to create quality family-friendly books. Her debut book, Abraham Lincoln and the Forest of Little Pigeon Creek, received a Mom’s Choice Award.
