Death By The Black Death

A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking big questions about why people used to get sick or how modern medicine was invented. This book serves as a bridge for children who are naturally curious about the macabre or the darker side of history, transforming a frightening topic into an educational exploration of science and social change. While the title sounds intense, the content is designed for elementary students, focusing on the historical context and the eventual breakthroughs in hygiene and biology. It emphasizes human resilience and the power of scientific discovery. Parents will find it a useful tool for discussing health, the importance of cleanliness, and how humanity overcomes massive challenges through knowledge and persistence. It is particularly well suited for children ages 7 to 10 who prefer facts over fiction.
