Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments For readers aged 12+, the book asks some thought-provoking questions and answers them in a smart and thorough style that will teach adults as much as it will children. We can see why it’s been called a must-read.

When I was 16, I bought a copy of Peter Fryer’s Book Staying Power. It was an incredibly empowering experience to read that book. I wish I’d been able to read it at 11 not 16. Much of what was in here I’d vaguely heard of (especially the areas Professor Olusoga highlights in the 1700s and beyond), but much of the information about things before then was brand new to me. And I learned some new things about topics I had a baseline knowledge of, like the Windrush generation, and the British profit from slave trade and slavery.

I think it’s important they know their history is part of British history. It’s not an optional extra or some specialist subject. It’s actually an integral part of the British story. I’m proud to call myself a British citizen. I believe that our country is one of the most diverse in the world. We have been through a lot of pain to achieve this and understanding all the pain is a great way to move forward to a more peaceful future. This book is a good brief history in and a step in that direction. Royal Mail industrial action taking place in 2023 may have an impact on delivery times to all destinations both within the UK and internationally. These delays are out of our control. I found this a very compelling read, clearly presented and easy to digest. I'm definitely going to be looking out for the bigger version (even if this is slightly more updated) as I did want a little more detail in places.

Wieder ein so wichtiges Buch, dass ich wünschte alle würden es lesen. Es ist unglaublich, wie viel uns nicht beigebracht wird und wie viel wir aus der “Weißen Perspektive” lernen! Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap...

History like this must be made more accessible and not hidden. So much has been achieved that has not been discussed so is lost which is wrong. Winner of the Book of the Year, Children's Illustrated and Non-Fiction at The British Book Awards, 2021 Young people knowing their history as they go into adulthood is empowering for them – but it’s the responsibility of companies, corporations and institutions to examine their internal cultures and to weed out structures that create inequalities. If possible I would like David Olusoga to receive this. In his article the Times Weekend yesterday David skips from the Romans to the Tudors writing that very few people came from Africa after the Romans left.
