Honest History is for elementary- and middle-school-age kids who are curious about history and the underpinnings of global events. Each issue dives into a period of time, a place, or a significant milestone, such as World War II, Scandinavia and the Vikings, and western Africa and the history of the gold and salt trade. In addition to beautifully illustrated stories, it offers activities such as coloring pages and word searches. Readers are also encouraged to listen to its podcast and to send in postcards, which it publishes in its blog.
