Steve Azar’s ‘One Mississippi’ could soon become required reading in elementary schools
SUMMARY: Steve Azar’s children’s book “One Mississippi” may soon be required reading for second graders in Mississippi. The House of Representatives passed House Bill 1417 with a 112-1 vote, mandating the State Department of Education to acquire and distribute the book to all public and charter schools by the 2025-26 school year. The bill, authored by Republican Becky Currie, also requires a teaching plan for educators to explain the book’s significance during “Read Across America Week.” “One Mississippi,” which depicts Mississippi history through seven characters, became the state’s official song in 2022 and aims to foster civic pride among students.
