Genghis Khan

by Demi

As a boy, Genghis Khan inherited the role of leader after his father’s death. As a man, he earned it—by fiercely protecting his people, no matter the cost, and by demanding total loyalty from those he led. His is a story of courage and survival, sacrifice and death. The boy who became the great Genghis Khan would take his people from the brink of survival to near-world domination—and lead the largest empire ever created in the lifetime of one man.

Based on both history and legend, Demi’s classic story takes readers into a world of battle and victory—and shows why Genghis Khan has gone down in history as the greatest conqueror of all time.

We read this again today on the recommendation from Beautiful Feet Books Around the World with Picture Books Part I, although we have had this on our shelf for years. I really think the Demi books are incredible and useful for teaching concepts not taught by many other books. Genghis Khan is a large historical character and Demi's artwork makes the lessons a fascinating study in his youth and overall rise to power. I highly recommend Demi books and I highly recommend you check out Beautiful Feet Books Around the World with Picture Books Part I & II.
