What if history didn’t feel like memorizing but felt like exploring?
Let’s be honest: most kids don’t fall in love with history—because they’re introduced to it too late, and too dry.

Before we hand them this…
…what if we started with this?

Meet Brenda Burnacci, the Heart Behind Little Lion History
Most history programs expect young children to sit, listen, and remember facts they are not developmentally ready for.
Little Lion History was created to offer something different. A way to introduce history that feels meaningful, engaging, and age-appropriate for young learners.
It began in one homeschool with one mom who wanted history to make sense for her kids.

Real Words From a Real Mom
"A Fresh, Funny Take on History for Littles- King George Lost the War by Little Lion History is such a clever way to introduce real events to young kids without overwhelming them. The tone is playful, the storytelling is clear, and the illustrations are bold and fun. I love that it doesn’t talk down to kids or sugarcoat everything — it’s just smart, silly, and factual in the best way. It also gave me a chuckle a few times. A great intro to history that doesn’t feel dry or heavy. We’ll definitely be checking out the rest of the series!"
