But no matter where you live, a whole lot happened before your home was built. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBefore I Lived Here\u003c\/i\u003e, a boy peels away each layer of the history of the land his house sits on. Follow along from the construction of the neighborhood back to the planning of it; from the ranchers and log cabins that predated it, back to the region's Indigenous people and their eviction from the land . . . all the way back to the time of the dinosaurs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBefore I Lived Here\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us that history isn't something that happens far away, to other people--it's in our own backyards. Debut author Stacy S. Jensen makes the learning readily digestible. There's something here for every reader--from the irresistible depiction of construction sites for vehicle fans, to the somber facts of indigenous displacement recounted without flinching, making for a great family conversation starter on many different levels.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0823452239\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780823452231\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Jensen, Stacy S., Ngai, Victo, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Neal Porter Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Neal Porter Books","offers":[{"title":"HardCover (Aug 2025)","offer_id":45659900313797,"sku":"9780823452231","price":18.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780823452231.jpg?v=1768915483","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/before-i-lived-here","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
