This fascinating children’s book focuses squarely on the biographies of a myriad of movers and shakers across millennia. It covers a diverse array of kings and queens, humanitarians, scientists, inventors, explorers, activists, writers, artists, and more, from around the globe. Timelines of Extraordinary Lives reveals not just the incredible achievements, contributions, and adventures of historical figures, but the lesser-known events that shaped them, too—from childhood into old age.

Filled with easy-to-understand timelines, vibrant illustrations, and a diverse range of influential people, Timelines of Extraordinary Lives is the must-have guide to the world’s must-know names.
