I love honest history! I have been purchasing 3 every 3 months for my 12 year old for the past year. She looks forward to her magazines to come in the mail. We keep them on our family bookshelf because they are so full of interesting information. I’ve started reading them with our 8 year old too.

My daughter is curious about each history book. The ones I read show the difficulties people faced in an age appropriate way.

We LOVE Honest History. It has allowed us to dive into topics my sons may not have studied until high school (or ever!) in a way that is accessible, interesting, and even with the most complex topics - fun! I’m learning alongside my boys and it’s their favorite part of the day.
