Kids love a good story, and there’s no greater story than the history of our world. Understanding history is essential to give kids a sense of identity and empathy and to help them understand the events that are unfolding around them every day in greater context. Luckily, there are some incredible resources out there that make history come alive in vivid, memorable ways, setting kids up for success at school and in the real world.
