Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Ships are on the horizon, and two worlds are about to meet.

In this second book of the America in 12 Books series, young readers cross the Atlantic alongside sailors, settlers, and dreamers from Europe. Follow Viking explorers to a secret landing centuries before Columbus, sail with Columbus himself in 1492, discover the Great Exchange of foods, animals, and diseases that changed both sides of the ocean forever, and watch tiny, struggling forts at Jamestown and Plymouth grow into lasting colonies.

Along the way, readers meet the Native nations whose homelands these newcomers were arriving in, and see how cooperation and conflict shaped a relationship that would keep unfolding for centuries to come.

Written in clear, engaging language and paired with warm, painterly illustrations, this big-picture history is designed for curious young explorers ages 6-12 -- and for any grown-up who wants to (re)discover the story of America's beginnings alongside them.

What's inside: - 8 illustrated chapters covering colonization from the Vikings to New France, New Netherland, and New Spain- Fun "Did you know?" facts throughout- A big-picture, honest look at how two worlds met- Book Two in the America in 12 Books series (Book One: The First Peoples of America)
