“The best history lessons don’t come from textbooks. They come from stories, play, and curiosity.”

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.

But what if we started earlier… with stories, games, and hands-on fun?

Journey Through Early American History is made for 5–7 year olds because big ideas stick better when they’re playful, not pushy.

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!"
