    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    "

    This book examines well-known poetry, picture books, and multimodal texts to explore how visual and literary texts shape collective memory and historical understanding with an initial focus on World War I before expanding to include more current contested issues topics such as colonialism, immigration, and First Nations’ experiences.

    Organized into three sections, the book discusses the role of picture books in teaching difficult histories, analyses postmodern picture books addressing controversial topics, and provides a framework for classroom pedagogy. This approach highlights the importance of empathy, ethics, and creative expression in history education, showcasing how storytelling through multimodal texts bridges the past to the present.
