What was the Fire of London? How did one small spark in 1666 turn into one of the most famous disasters in British history?

Hi, my name is Ethan Solace-an interdisciplinary psychologist and a dad. Picture books are often the first place children encounter the wider world, but we do not always stop to think about who wrote them, or the lasting impression they leave.

I wrote The Big Questions series to be premium, exciting, child-friendly, and based on how children actually engage, not talking down to them, but exploring with them. The Big Questions: What Was the Fire of London? is a children's nonfiction picture book that turns one of history's most dramatic real events into an unforgettable journey through London in 1666, where wooden streets burned, smoke swallowed the sky, and a city was changed forever.

Created for kids ages 5-12, this Great Fire of London book for children explores how the fire began, why it spread so quickly, what people saw and felt as it raced through the city, and how London rebuilt afterwards. From Pudding Lane and the bakery where the flames began to the Thames, St Paul's, and the new city that rose from the ashes, this book blends real history with cinematic storytelling to help children understand not just what happened, but why it still matters.
