From the publisher

Much of the story of ancient Egypt is told about royalty. Many kids know about pharaohs like Cleopatra and the amazing pyramids that were built during this time period–but what about the regular people? This graphic novel brings that perspective into focus as a family living in ancient Egypt are part of the major innovations of the time: the pyramids, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and the use of papyrus and hieroglyphics. Illustrations pair with understandable dialogue and an appendix offers more historical context for readers.
