From ancient scrolls and hand-copied books to Gutenberg's genius and the rise of newspapers, this book explores the wild and wonderful story of printing. With a kid-friendly voice and surprising facts tucked into every chapter, it shows how ink, fonts, machines, and a whole lot of curiosity helped spread knowledge across the globe.

Whether it's a book, a zine, or a poster taped to a wall, every printed page has the power to shape the world-and kids will come away inspired to make their mark with words of their own.
