Our books teach children through imaginative short-story narratives and follow the basic format of a traditional Chemistry class but in a more simplified and enjoyable manner. You, your child or even your young students will enjoy reading about the relatable characters, who are immersed in whimsical imagery crafted out of the imagination of an actual Chemist. Research shows that young children find it easier to retain the basic and fundamental chemistry skills and vocabulary while enjoying an exciting adventure through a learning land of wonder.
It is our belief, that children who are introduced to Chemistry at an early age, are often more prepared to move on to traditional Chemistry classes and may even be inspired to enter into other STEM fields, in their future academic endeavors
Our books will start your child on an exciting and beneficial path in STEM!
