Leif and the Longship of the North
Travel back over 1,000 years to the time of the Vikings in this gentle, true-history adventure for young readers.
Leif and the Longship of the North follows a curious Viking boy inspired by the real explorer Leif Erikson, who sailed across the ocean and discovered a new land called Vinland—believed to be part of North America. Through 31 short, easy-to-read chapters, children join Leif as he helps prepare a longship, faces storms at sea, explores a green new land, and learns to respect nature and work as a team.
Based on real historical events and Viking life, this story shows that exploration is not about fighting, but about curiosity, courage, cooperation, and respect for the world. Written especially for ages 6-10, it is perfect for early readers, bedtime reading, and classroom learning.
Why children and parents will love this book:
- Inspired by real Viking history
- Short, simple chapters perfect for young readers
- Teaches teamwork, bravery, and respect for nature
- Great for homeschooling and school projects
- Encourages curiosity about the world and history
A wonderful first introduction to world history, Leif and the Longship of the North brings a true story from the past to life for today's young explorers.
