Praise for Big Ideas from History: "An entertaining and insightful history exploring what our children can learn from the past." – Dan Jones, bestselling author and historian"This history book takes an innovative approach. It asks what history is for, and answers that question by explaining how understanding history helps you in your own life [...] The text is accurate, clear, and friendly and accompanied by illustrations and photos, making this an attractive and genuinely inspiring book." – Andrea Reece, Love Reading 4 Kids"Thorough, in-depth, enticingly illustrated, and thought-provoking, Big Ideas from History covers a diverse selection of civilizations and cultures. It doesn't simply explain the where, who and when; it focuses on the how and the why; and prompts children to think critically ... this is the perfect 'big' book present for a curious upper primary or lower secondary-aged child." – School Reading List"The School of Life comprises people from all over the world and it really shows here - the writing offers a variety of opinions presented with sensitivity and inclusivity" – The Little Literary Society"Presents life lessons to consider... The history lessons connect the reader from the past to present...a title for history-minded readers, for those beginning a research project, or for use as supportive material to a history book. Recommended." – School Library Connection"A great gift book for inquisitive children.... I love how books like Big Ideas From History show us how, more important than dates, learning why things happened is extremely important....The scope is impressive....History might be a behemoth of a topic, but this book places it on a personal level that all young readers can identify with." – Robin Brooks, GeekDad
