North America:

“Using a large time line format, this unique book tells the history of North America over the past 13,000 years. Notably, this title covers a lot of information. Each spread contains many important historical events from all over the continent. Albee doesn’t glorify Christopher Columbus’s “discovery” and actually describes what truly happened to the Indigenous people when the Europeans started to colonize the continent. Along with the plethora of information, there are many detailed illustrations for readers to explore….The thick pages are actually one long piece that unfolds into one eight-foot long page.”

—School Library Journal

“Along with using careful, respectful language when referring to Native groups and “enslaved people,” Albee highlights women. Tailor-made to lay out, and with, on a clear stretch of floor.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Created in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution, the graphic novel style illustrations by William Exley coupled with Albee’s signature pithy, accessible text results in an engrossing, visually stunning reference book for both home and classroom use.”
