Write History Book for Kids

I need an experienced children’s author to craft an engaging, education-focused history book for readers aged 9-12. The goal is to bring key historical events and figures to life in a way that sparks curiosity while remaining age-appropriate and easily digestible.

What I have in mind is a well-structured narrative backed by accurate research, sprinkled with memorable characters, vivid settings, and clear explanations of why each event mattered. Jargon should be minimal and every chapter should close with a short recap or reflection question so young readers can internalize what they have learned.

You will handle:
• Outlining the full story arc and factual content
• Writing the complete manuscript in a lively, kid-friendly tone
• Providing sidebars or call-outs for fun facts and context where useful
• Delivering a ready-to-edit Word or Google Docs file

If you have previous work aimed at 9-12 year olds—especially any history titles—please share a sample link or excerpt so I can gauge fit and voice. I’m excited to collaborate and make history feel real for today’s young readers.
