What drove bold sailors to leave everything behind and cross unknown oceans - and how did those journeys change the entire world?

From the trading ports of Portugal to the shores of the Americas, this engaging nonfiction chapter book takes young readers on a journey through one of the most dramatic eras in human history. Written in clear, accessible language, each chapter builds on the last to give children a complete picture of how and why the Age of Exploration unfolded - and what it meant for the people who lived it.

Inside, your child will discover:

  • Why European nations raced to find new sea routes - and what they were really after
  • How Portugal mapped the African coastline and opened a path to Asia
  • The four voyages of Christopher Columbus and what he actually found
  • How Ferdinand Magellan's crew became the first people to sail around the entire globe
  • The conquest of the Americas and the rise of colonial empires
  • How exploration fueled global trade - and the devastating transatlantic slave trade
  • The experiences of indigenous peoples during first contact with European explorers
  • Explorers who pushed into Asia and the Pacific, expanding the known world
  • The lasting legacy of the Age of Exploration on the world we live in today
