About the Show

History’s Kids brings the past to life through the eyes of kids who were there. Each episode features a firsthand account from someone who experienced a historical event as a child—making history feel real, personal, and unforgettable.

Episodes are under 20 minutes, making them perfect for car rides, classrooms, or curious minds on the go.

Creator Lorraine Leddy was inspired to start History’s Kids when she saw her students' love for historical fiction featuring young protagonists. She wondered: What about telling the stories of the real kids who lived through history?

Season One includes stories from the eruption of Mount St. Helens, the Civil Rights Movement, World War II, and more. Sign up for email updates above to stay in the loop as we launch!
