She wonders why she speaks English, so Nana tells the story of how the Silk Road led their ancestors to America.\u003cbr\u003e The Silk Road was an ancient trade route that linked Europe to Asia. It brought treasures pouring in from far away-things like spices and tea. The British king's greed, however, eventually forced people to leave their homes and seek a better life across the sea. The hunger for exploration, discovery, and freedom brought many citizens to the United States. We now stand as one, unified and strong.\u003cbr\u003e Why? takes young readers on a journey through history to discover how the Silk Road spurred events that led to the exploration of America. Told in rhyming couplets-with added footnotes to give further historical detail-this story delivers a deeper understanding of not only the race to explore but also the many twists and turns this historical journey took.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 21, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55154594545955,"sku":"9781480895065","price":28.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8279\/8371\/files\/aVSWNUE0N9781480895065.webp?v=1779822867","url":"https:\/\/homeschoolbookbarn.com\/products\/why-a-story-about-the-silk-road-and-the-many-routes-it-took-paperback","provider":"Homeschool Book Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
