Why I Created Little Lion History
I didn’t connect with history as a child. It felt distant and hard to relate to.
When I became a homeschooling mom, I wanted something different for my kids. I wanted history to feel meaningful, engaging, and age-appropriate from the very beginning, not something they had to push through before it finally made sense.
That desire is what led to Little Lion History. What started in our homeschool became a gentle, story-driven way to invite young learners into history through play, imagination, and connection.
Where Little Lion History Has Been Shared
From homeschool homes to community events, Little Lion History is being shared in spaces that care about passing stories on to the next generation.

Meet The Founder
Hi, I’m Brenda Burnacci—homeschool mom and creator of Little Lion History. I believe history should be fun, engaging, and something kids actually remember. I created these tools to help families like mine teach early American history in a way that sticks—through play, stories, and curiosity.
