As parents, we found ourselves staring at our kids’ bookshelf one night feeling more frustrated than inspired. The stories were either dull, watered-down, or missed the magic of the real moments that shaped our world.

We wanted books that sparked wonder — illustrated adventures that made history feel alive, not like a school assignment. We searched everywhere. We couldn’t find them.

So we decided to write our own. Adventures in History was born at our kitchen table, with two curious kids of our own as inspiration — and Olivia & Ethan as their guides.
