History is the coolest thing ever. And every time you ask why, Y Zee helps you see the answer.

Why do we have countries instead of one planet? Why did people start living in cities? Why are the pyramids still standing after 4,500 years? Join Y Zee, a curious time-travelling guide, on a trip across thousands of years, told in a lively magazine style packed with big questions, bold visuals and surprising facts.

From the supercontinent Pangaea and the first farmers to the world’s earliest towns, the pyramids of Egypt, the Great Wall of China, Ashoka’s change of heart after Kalinga, great sea explorers, the story of how the British came to India and the freedom struggle that ended it, each spread turns a single question into a story worth remembering. Fun activity pages keep the learning hands-on along the way.

• Big “why” questions answered in short, vivid stories and playful illustrations
• Ancient civilisations, wonders of the world, great rulers, explorers and Indian history in one journey
• Activity pages, language fun and facts that connect the past to everyday life

A colourful, curious ride through history that makes you look at the world around you and think: I am standing on thousands of years of story.
