The news has often focused on our lack of technical skills in the STEM (Science, Techn

Often children don’t like to eat vegetables. This book is a fun way to introduce young children to this very important part of their diet. It includes examples of different type of vegetables such as spinach, peas lentils and beets. “Veggies don’t scare me at all” is written in a fun rhyme format to encourage children to try the many vegetables available. You can now purchase this book in the link in our bio!!

Cognitive processes develop rapidly in the first few years of life. In fact, by age 3, roughly 85% of the brain is developed. However, traditional education takes places in grades K-12, which begin at age five. Be sure to read to your child and speak to them extensively BEFORE they start school to give them a head start!

Our Story

To this end, we at Wordsmith Jr have helped design a Saturday School that has a “Read Loud / Read Proud” component; facilitating the instruction of older children reading to younger children and subsequent family reading nights; partnered with other authors to create open house and marketing venues featuring books targeting young children of color; and we are in the process of animating one of our most popular books for those who do not have a person to read aloud to them or who are challenged in English.
