Sketches in History | Crossing the Delaw...

15-Minute History Podcast
About this episode

As promised, the 15-Minute History Podcast team is bringing you a new segment, just for kids, called Sketches in History, where history isn’t just a story—it’s an adventure. Join Lottie Archer, as she dives into her extraordinary notebook where sketches from history come to life.

In her first episode, she will travel to Christmas night, 1776. Imagine icy waters, desperate soldiers, and a bold leader on the brink of changing history. Your kids will discover the bravery, leadership, and resilience that shaped a nation.

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!

Until then, remember that history is just a page away.
