World Kid Lit Month 2026: Explorer Challenger: 7-12: A Language Spoken by a Friend

 

Timeline: science & technology: a visual history of our world.

Written and illustrated by Peter Goes.

Translated from the Dutch by Bill Nagelkerke.

Gecko Press, 2020.

Illustrated nonfiction.

A visual introduction to our planet and society told through the history of our greatest inventions and the technology that has changed the world. In his signature playful style, Peter Goes illustrates the most fascinating technologies, from the first tools to the most specialized IT, from medical breakthroughs to the creation of YouTube. He includes remarkable scientists and innovators and highlights lesser-known stories. A compelling history of technology from the Stone Age to the present day, from America to the Southern hemisphere and beyond.

Busy and detailed – the human figures are not stereotyped – which is great.
