Finally found one that relates to Social Studies. I am going to put the rest of my resources in my lit review.

This helps students understand historical events through the use of children's literature because the children's books show multiple perspectives.

"For example, exposing students to the multiple perspectives surrounding the American Revolution will help to dispel misconceptions regarding this time period including that all colonial Americans rebelled against the British and that only males fought in the Revolutionary War."

Sometimes the correct literature can create a better sense of inclusiveness if it correctly represents the different cultures in the classroom.

Children's literature helps citizenship.

"Children's literature--picture and story books in particular --can be used as a powerful tool to help even the youngest citizens become aware of the need to assume responsibility for creating and enjoying a sustainable future through global citizenship."

Research performed by teachers when there may be a better way of doing something in the classroom or school. According to Sagor, "Action reseach, on the other hand is conducted by people who want to do something to improve their own situation." (1993)
