Growing Together

Phase 4 of Kit's Little Sparks. Four board books for ages 3 to 4 about other people, the part most STEM books skip. Invention is a social act, and these books cover the four hardest social moments: handling a copycat, collaborating without losing yourself, drawing the line between copying and inspiration, and giving your work away.

Book 13 walks toddlers through what to do when someone copies them, using words instead of fights. Book 14 is the collaboration book, two builders are better than one, but only when both stay themselves. Book 15 teaches the distinction between copying and inspiration, which is teachable even to four-year-olds. Book 16 closes with the joy of making for someone else. Written by patent attorney and preschool founder Chris Kuczynski. Each board book is 7" x 7", 18 pages, with QR code for free read-aloud audio and printable activities. Phase 4 bundle of all four available.

Phase 04 of 05 · Books 13 to 16. Copycats happen. So does collaboration. Kit handles them with words, builds with friends, and gives something away.
