History is usually told through adult eyes, but what about children? A Child Through Time turns that around, journeying through the lives of 30 everyday children from the Ice Age right through to modern times – a history book that helps kids today understand what someone their own age in the past actually wore, ate, and played. Readers meet young Aztecs, Romans, and Vikings among ancient empires and medieval castles, and many more besides, as the book explores the often-overlooked lives of children throughout history. Specially commissioned illustrations and maps of the places these children lived bring each story to life, while the book also explores the historic moments these children witnessed firsthand. Visually stunning maps, timelines, and illustrations run throughout, with collections of archaeological objects thoroughly researched to make the book as historically accurate as possible. The result is an immersive reading experience that shapes how children think about family life across the ages, covering key curriculum topics in a fresh light – ideal for readers aged 7 and up. Have you ever wondered how children lived in the past? A Child Through Time takes you on that historical journey through children’s eyes, with illustrations by Steve Moon bringing each child vividly to life. The book is packed with maps, timelines, and photographs revealing fascinating facts about kids who lived long before us. Inside, readers will get to know 30 children from early civilizations through to the modern period, discover the childhoods of famous historical figures including Tutankhamun, Pocahontas, and Marie Antoinette, and explore the toys, games, and food that shaped everyday life for children of the past.
