British Museum:Kid Life in Aztec Age Paperback

"British Museum: Kid Life in Aztec Age," often part of the "So You Think You've Got It Bad?" series by Chae Strathie and illustrated by Marisa Morea, offers a wonderfully irreverent and informative look into the surprising and sometimes shocking daily lives of children in the Aztec Empire. Developed in consultation with British Museum experts, this book uses humorous comparisons and vibrant illustrations to highlight just how different and challenging life was for Aztec kids compared to modern children.
