About

Discover how the roads beneath your feet helped shape a nation. This engaging nonfiction book takes curious kids on a journey through time, from the muddy trails of the 1800s to the superfast interstates we know today. Packed with fascinating stories, surprising facts, and easy-to-understand explanations, it reveals how the highway system was built, who made it happen, and why it matters more than ever.
Young readers will explore the difference between roads, streets, and highways, find out how road signs keep us safe, and learn why bridges, tunnels, and interchanges are engineering marvels. Along the way, they'll discover how highways affect wildlife, what it takes to build and maintain smart roads, and how electric vehicles and self-driving cars are changing the future of travel.
Whether it's understanding how traffic lights work, why rest stops are important, or how to read a road map, this book turns everyday sights into exciting lessons. Perfect for kids aged 7 to 12, it blends storytelling with real-world know-how to spark curiosity about the roads we all use-but rarely think about. Buckle up for a fun, fact-filled ride across the highways that connect people, places, and possibilities.
