The Genevieve Foster Collection

Author: Genevieve Foster
Recommended For: Intermediate and Advanced (5th through 8th grade)

A Cathy Duffy Top Pick!

The full collection of Genevieve Foster's "World" books, two of which were awarded Newbery Honors! Teach and learn history in an engaging and enjoyable story that encompasses the whole world at the time of the title character. These books are perfectly suited for homeschool families looking for excellent literature on these various historical figures.

In the late 1930s it occurred to Genevieve Foster to write about history in a "horizontal" versus "vertical" fashion, i.e., that national histories should not be taught in isolation from one another. She said that the way history was traditionally taught was "about as dull and unsatisfying, as a play might be, if only one character appeared upon the stage, while the others faintly mumbled their lines in the wings, out of sight of the audience."

She was at the forefront of this new method of historical writing, which viewed history as a cross section of intertwined events and looked at a person in their worldwide historical context. In her books, she integrated global historical events into the telling of a person's life. Her purpose was to make historical figures "alive for children". During her career she wrote 19 nonfiction children's books. Foster traveled extensively and most of her books were translated into 12 languages and were distributed by the U.S. State Department.
