About the Series

The Wonders of History

Children are naturally curious about the world. They ask big questions: What changed? Why did it happen? How did people live before us?

The Wonders of History series was created to answer those questions clearly and thoughtfully. Each book presents accurate history in language designed for readers ages 7–10. Complex ideas are broken into understandable parts without being oversimplified.

Rather than offering scattered facts, these books show how events connect. Energy, work, cities, trade, inventions — each chapter explains how one change led to another. This cause-and-effect structure helps children build a strong foundation for understanding the past.

Engaging illustrations support the learning, while the writing remains calm, concrete, and readable.

The goal is simple: to give young readers real historical understanding — and the confidence that comes with it.
