Through cuneiform tablets, pearly olive presses, and star-guided Bedouin nights, the siblings uncover the living threads that weave our world together. Bursting with adventure, humor, and heart, Paths of Living History shows young readers that the past lives on every footstep we take.

Description

History often feels like dusty books on high shelves—but what if the past could speak through the ground beneath our feet? In Paths of Living History, two curious siblings discover just that when they find a pair of enchanted leather sandals in their grandfather’s study. Slip into these sandals and you step into ancient caravans, bustling bazaars, and forgotten desert trails. You’ll taste saffron in Xi’an, follow the glint of salt caravans across the Sahara, and handle weathered manuscripts in Timbuktu’s sunlit libraries. Along the way, Daxil’s careful sketches and Faroula’s lively interviews bring bygone explorers, traders, and mapmakers to life. Through laughter, surprises, and a few comical missteps, our heroes learn that every grain of sand and every stitched seam of silk has a story. This book invites readers ages 5–10 to walk history’s pathways—and discover that yesterday’s journeys still shape our world today.
