Ages 7 to 12

An illustrated trip through time to meet children just like you and see how they lived, from prehistoric caves to ancient Rome.

What if you could look back in time and meet everyday children just like you, but from a totally different world? How We Lived is an amazing window into history through the lives of children through time, showing the clothes they wore, the food they ate, the games they played, and the amazing worlds they lived in. Each section opens with a new child introducing themselves to the reader in a stunning illustrated double-page scene. Behind them, the reader can see the child's environment, from prehistoric caves to Egyptian temples. This is followed by fact-filled pages, allowing readers to see their tools they used, the toys they loved, the food they ate, and much more. Join them in a Japanese palace, explore a Viking village, and race with them on horseback across the Scythian plains. How We Lived is an unforgettable journey back in time.
