September 9: Engines of Change
From a Viking ambush to a moth that minted the word “bug,” this date keeps reinventing what power looks like. Kingdoms rose and fell at Flodden and Smyrna; a newborn nation chose its name; California joined the map; and code, caves, rockets, and rail linked worlds that didn’t touch before. September 9 is completion energy with teeth—things click into place, then everything moves.
Inside this volume you’ll find 50 meticulously curated events (war, art, science, disaster, and wonder), two-to-three-sentence explainers for each, and a matching set of historically accurate adult coloring prompts. It’s a time-machine you can draw in—zero fluff, maximum signal.
paperback, 8.5" x 11", 50 illustrations
