You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Christopher Columbus
Have you ever wondered why Christopher Columbus called himself "Great Admirald of the Seas"? Did he plan to find a route from Europe to the Americas by sailing west?
Biology is not always kids' favorite reads, but "Who/What Was..." series did a great job in showing kids a vivid picture of history.
This book did not make Columbus into a sunshiny hero, instead it depicted a man who made mistakes and tricked people.
Fun reads filled with tons of information!
