在这段从史前时代到现代的时间轴上，告诉孩子们在这段视觉历史中，岁月流逝，年复一年。
在此更新的卷中，时间表到2018年，记录了最近的事件，包括叙利亚战争和朱诺和新视野号探测器对太空的持续探索。这本独特的书结合了历史的点点滴滴，将世界各地的历史事件放在了一个时间表上，包括史前人类，主要文明（古埃及人，古希腊人，罗马人，阿兹台克人和印加人），世界探索，工业革命，美国公民战争，世界大战和月球上的人类。
每页上都充斥着图片和原始文物，以提供一个时代的快照。还有一些功能可以解释重大事件，例如罗马帝国的崛起或共产主义的衰落。 “时光之子”探索了历史上儿童的生活，从对斯巴达勇士的艰苦训练到在20世纪向西穿越美国的货车上的年轻开拓者的生活。 “时刻”冻结了一个特别具有历史意义的事件，例如赖特兄弟的首飞。
Travel through the ages, year by year, in this visual history for children told on a timeline that stretches from prehistoric times to the modern day.
In this updated volume, the timeline reaches 2018, documenting recent events, including the Syrian War and the continuing exploration of space by the Juno and New Horizons probes. This unique book joins the dots of history by putting historic events across the world on one timeline, including prehistoric people, key civilizations (Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Aztecs, and Incas), world exploration, the Industrial Revolution, the American Civil War, the world wars, and humans on the Moon.
Every page is packed with pictures and original artefacts, to give a snapshot of an era. There are also features that explain major events, such as the rise of the Roman Empire, or the fall of Communism. "Child of the Time" explores the lives of children in history, from the tough training of a Spartan warrior to the lives of young pioneers on a wagon train heading west across America in the 20th century. A "Moment in Time" freeze-frames a particularly historic event, such as the first flight of the Wright Brothers.
