Summary
The present can loom very large in a child's mind: all the challenges of the modern world can feel overwhelming and, at times, dispiriting. Big Ideas from History is an immense story of what has happened through time, from the beginnings of the universe to now, that speaks personally and constructively to a growing mind. The book encourages children to think about how and why they experience the world as they do and offers a helpful perspective by placing their thoughts and feelings in the context of our history. What might the dinosaurs or the Ancient Egyptians, the Aztec warriors or the Enlightenment thinkers of the 18th century tell us that could be interesting and useful to hear now? The book also looks to the future and asks the reader to imagine a world they would like to live in. It is a thoughtful and inspiring introduction to the world around us, which encourages the child to engage with themselves and others through history
