One inventor's mindset.
Six years of one growing reader.
Forty books across three age-tiered series, designed to grow with one child from age 2 to age 8. Same Kit. Same vocabulary. Each book picks up where the last one left off.
Kit's Big Ideas is a children's library built from a patent attorney's classroom and patent practice. The three series follow one inventor through forty books and six years of growing up: Kit's Little Sparks (ages 2 to 4, twenty board books on the inventor's mindset, wondering through becoming), Kit's Inventor Workshop (ages 4 to 6, twelve picture books on the four pillars of intellectual property: trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets, taught as collaborative play), and Kit's Big Ideas (ages 6 to 8, ten chapter books written as a real inventor's journal, the same kind real inventors at the patent office keep). Every book is written by Chris Kuczynski, a USPTO-registered patent attorney and preschool co-founder, with free read-aloud audio, an educator guide, and a printable activity sheet on the companion site.
What every Kit reader becomes.
I will look with curious eyes. I will feel with a kind heart. I will draw my ideas. I will build with my hands. I will try and try again. I will choose to be kind and share. I will help others make things too. And I will never, ever stop asking, what if.
Kit's Little Sparks
The first phase. Toddlers can think like inventors before they can read. Twenty board books that walk a child through five gentle phases of the inventor's mindset: Wondering, Making, Sharing, Growing Together, Becoming.
Twelve words per spread. Vibrant illustrations. A growing cast of friends. Kit goes from "I see a puzzle" in Book 1 to "I made a promise" in Book 20.
Kit's Inventor Workshop
The play phase. Kit already sees like an inventor. The new question is, what fits together in a surprising way? Each book begins with the arrival of the Photon Crate, a mysterious package full of parts, prompts, and possibility.
The four pillars of intellectual property at a kid's level: trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets. Taught not as vocabulary but as collaborative play, shared inventions, and the quiet pride of remixing your friend's idea into something new together.
Kit's Big Ideas
The author phase. Kit keeps a real inventor's journal, the same kind real inventors at the patent office have kept for centuries. Sketches. Half-ideas. False starts. Breakthroughs. Each book is both a chapter book and a working journal a child can sketch alongside.
Stories about original work, asking permission, citing inspiration, knowing when an idea is yours and when it belongs to someone else. Real inventor practice for the age when school starts asking, "Whose idea was this?"
How the universe is structured
A child who starts at age 2 grows into the next series the year they outgrow the last. The same vocabulary. The same character. The same author. Six years of one growing reader.
