About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about why great things come to an end or when they are fascinated by the 'what if' of history. This beautifully illustrated retelling of the Atlantis myth serves as a gentle introduction to the concept of civilizational rise and fall, moving beyond a simple adventure story to explore how pride and a loss of gratitude can change the course of a society. It is perfect for children who are graduating from simple fairy tales to more complex, atmospheric legends. While the ending involves the sinking of a city, the narrative focuses on the splendor of what was built and the lessons learned. It provides a safe space to discuss accountability and the importance of staying grounded, even when one achieves great success. The lush, gold-toned artwork makes it a sophisticated choice for a shared reading experience that feels like uncovering a buried treasure.
