Many cycle curriculums I see claim to be global, but tend to slide back and focus on Western Europe or don’t stay ancient. I’ve tried to spend equal time on the different continents all history picture books are from BC/BCE.
Each selection for a culture not my own was cross-checked in the Stories of Color database! (they also will receive a donation for each sale)
Two months of each school year are taken to examine the ancient history and culture of 4 of the major contents.
- Africa
- Asia
- Europe
- Americas
- An aside month on Mesopotamia
- (The Americas get a bit cheated this year, but I hope to make up for it next year!)

We have kicked off our year using Around the Ancient world and I am pleased! This curriculum has been so fun. Everything is very thought out. It’s concise, to the point, and packed with fun and activities. I am thouroughly enjoying learning along with my kids. The toddler ideas are an excellent bonus for families with littles running around during school. Thank you Sunshinrnin my nest for this amazing resource!

We are almost through week 3, and we have really enjoyed this curriculum. We love reading stories that teach history, and having geography, art and spelling all tied in with what we’re studying in history. For me as the teacher, it’s been absolutely amazing having the lesson plans all ready for me! This curriculum has been perfect for us this year. I’m learning along with my third grader. So grateful that Elizabeth did all the research and work necessary for creating and sharing her school plans with us!

I’m THANKFUL!
Real talk here: I’m not one to research literature or even go to the library and check out books.
The last few years I’ve been in survival mode. We do the basics, math and LA. We attend a co op once a week and do a homeschool PE twice a week. I have 4 boys age 10, 8, 7, 2. The theme over our last 5 years of homeschool has been, get school done so we can move on to the day.
I’ve tried supplemental things like history and art but gosh it was boring for most of my kids. I’m not a “fun” mom and have a hard time bringing information to life.
This year I wanted to do it differently. To slow down and enjoy school. I reorganized our school room, took out the desks, made it comfy and a place we would want to spend time.
Then I seen Elizabeth’s curriculum and I had met her at a local conference the year before and enjoyed her class she held and thought I’d give it a try!
I’m so pleased. We aren’t rushing, we are enjoying learning together.
My kid who hates to draw was thrilled to illustrate a picture from Gilgamesh the king today.
Yesterday they LOVED looking through the DK book.
I’ve spent a small fortune on crafts to keep their hands busy doing read alouds but I’m so happy about it!
I’m just thankful that you took the time, Elizabeth, to create this resource for us!
I want you to know your hard work is blessing our family.

We have completed our first month of this curriculum and we have had the sweetest month.
After a move that took us away from a beloved homeschool co-op that formed the backbone of our school experience the last 6 years, I was so nervous on how to fill that void. I saw this option on Instagram, and ordered it, thinking it would be one of many I would try.
But it has been perfect to fill our needs! There is a plethora of material available which is cohesive and thoughtful. It is easy to switch an activity or reading around or out. The 3 days we follow this, we call them our robust days, filled with learning in such an enjoyable way! We use it with my 10, 7, and 4 year old and all are asking amazing questions and looking for answers.
Thank you!
