Freestyle: A Painful History of Childhood

The latest addition to our popular A Painful History series provides readers with a fascinating look at how life as a child has dramatically changed through the ages, from ancient times to modern day. Each title takes an aspect of life to which all children can relate, such as school, illness and family, in order to examine how children have been treated - and mistreated - throughout history.

Each title includes:

 

  • real-life photos and accounts that bring the subject to life
  • compares children's lives through time so that readers can relate the content to their own lives
  • excellent resources to hook reluctant readers or those usually turned off by history.
