Synopsis

Book 14 of Kit's Little Sparks. By Chris Kuczynski. A friend has a problem. The friend has tried. The friend is stuck. Kit and Sparks see it happen. Kit walks over. Kit asks, may I help? The friend nods. Together, two pairs of small hands solve what one pair could not. Collaboration is the inventor's mindset at full strength. Most patents in the United States have more than one inventor on them. Most great inventions have a co-creator. Most preschool projects work better with a friend. Kit shows your child that helping is not a favor. Helping is how big things get made. Book 14 teaches the small mechanics of collaboration. Asking first. Letting the friend keep their idea. Adding without taking over. Knowing when to lead and when to follow. Each spread shows a different micro-skill in action, with both children's hands visible in the work. Illustrated in watercolor with two pairs of hands always visible on the work surface. Sturdy board pages. Free read-along audio. Free educator guide with a "build together" classroom activity for paired tables. For parents whose child is starting to build with peers. For preschool teachers running collaborative projects. For families raising children who can both lead and follow. Written by Chris Kuczynski, an engineer for the first twelve years of his career, then a registered patent attorney, and a co-founder of a preschool. He wrote the Kit's Little Sparks series to give two to four year-olds the language of invention long before kindergarten. Help a friend build something today. Two builders make more than one. Practice teamwork on a project. Book 15 is where Kit meets someone who has been quietly inspiring them all along.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Chris Kuczynski has been building things since he was twelve. He earned his engineering degree from the University of Washington and spent the next twelve years as a working engineer before a new question took hold: how do you protect an idea so the world can benefit from it? That question led him to patent law, where he has spent over two decades helping inventors turn ideas into protected, world changing creations. In 2015, Chris co-founded a preschool, and something clicked. He watched toddlers do the exact same things his inventors did. They observed. They sketched (in crayon). They built, failed, rebuilt, and celebrated. The only difference was that nobody had told them what to call it yet. Kit's Little Sparks series of books is the result of those two worlds colliding. The series teaches children the social and emotional components of the inventors mindset and the foundations of inventing through play based storytelling. Each book introduces a new friend, a new challenge, and a new concept drawn directly from the patent process, all wrapped in watercolor illustrations and language designed for the smallest minds with the biggest ideas. Chris still takes things apart to see how they work.
