We believe powerful learning takes place when there is connection, joy, and purpose.

Connection

Mighty Books & Brains strengthens a child’s sense of belonging and emotional intelligence, opening the doors to unparalleled academic rigor and limitless, lifelong learning.

Joy

Our units weave together the best of children’s literature, engaging non-fiction books, and whole-brain projects so learning flows and delights.  Children can experience the beauty of thematic music, movement, art, and play while mastering Common Core ELA and Math standards.

Purpose

Mighty Books & Brains is for schools committed to teaching the next generation of brilliant, courageous, and kind leaders. Each unit guides children in developing self-awareness and emotional intelligence,  as well as their ability to investigate and think critically about the world around them. (Because the world becomes what we teach!)
