How We Lived in Ancient Times: Meet Everyday Children Throughout History 

Ben Hubbard

Waterstones says:

What if you could look back in time and meet everyday children just like you, but from a totally different world? How We Lived in Ancient Times is an amazing window into history through the lives of children through time, showing the clothes they wore, the food they ate, the games they played, and the amazing worlds they lived in.

Each section opens with a new child introducing themselves to the reader in a stunning illustrated double-page scene. Behind them, the reader can see the child's environment, from prehistoric caves to Egyptian temples.

This is followed by fact-filled pages, allowing readers to see their tools they used, the toys they loved, the food they ate, and much more. Join them in a Japanese palace, explore a Viking village, and race with them on horseback across the Scythian plains. How We Lived in Ancient Times is an unforgettable journey back in time.

A Different Kind of Freedom: A Romani Story - Voices 

Richard O'Neill 

Waterstones says:


A gripping football-filled adventure based in the Romani community of 19th-century Sheffield. This action-packed story is told through the eyes of young Lijah, as he navigates life and discovers football and the legendary Rab Howell.

“Quick history of Rab Howell: born in a wagon on a camp like yours about thirty years ago. He played for United and England, and was one of the best players I ever saw.”

In this heart-stopping adventure, Richard O’Neill shows us an important and intriguing time in Britain that’s sure to fascinate young readers.
