About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about how the world around them came to be, or when they feel overwhelmed by the fast pace of modern life and need the grounding perspective of history. This evocative compendium traces London from its Roman foundations through the Great Fire and the Blitz to its current status as a global hub. Rather than a dry list of dates, it focuses on the resilience of everyday people and the way cities breathe and change over centuries. It is an artistic and emotional journey that emphasizes perseverance and the interconnectedness of human experience. Suitable for children aged 9 to 12, it provides a sophisticated yet accessible way to explore social change and historical identity through a blend of poetry, prose, and stunning mixed media illustrations.
