Mighty Books & Brains incorporates outstanding authentic children’s literature to strengthen emotional intelligence, spark creative thinking, and engage curious brains in building a better world.

Here’s what you’ll find in every Mighty Books & Brains box:

 

Outstanding Children’s Books

Exceptional children’s books form the core of Mighty Books & Brains. We use high quality stories and nonfiction books as powerful catalysts for building robust learning communities, igniting joy, and nurturing young minds with essential literacy skills and vocabulary.

 

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence and mental health are vital for a child’s well-being, relationships, and future career success. Each Mighty Book ignites meaningful discussions on topics like empathy, grit, mindfulness, and gratitude, fostering emotional growth. In addition to STEM and ELA projects & activities, the Mighty Workbook promotes self-awareness with thematic yoga and breathing techniques.

Every child deserves the delight and innovation that dynamic play and project-based learning bring. In every Mighty Books & Brains box, we incorporate whole-brain projects, messy crafts, and suggestions for play to stimulate higher-level thinking, nurturing the potential of our future designers, inventors, engineers, and creators.

 

Nonfiction Learning

Our planet is a wondrous place to call home, and we believe that children’s enthusiasm for learning should mirror that wonder. Mighty Books & Brains balances each brainy box with captivating nonfiction on a variety of engaging topics.

Meet the Founder

Hi! I’m Bri. My passion for creating curriculum took root as a graduate student at Hamline University, where I received my Master’s in Teaching. I began crafting Mighty Books & Brains units with my former first-grade students in St. Paul, Minnesota, my middle school students in San Jose, California, and my own children (ages 8 and 6). My goal was to create a research-based framework that allows teachers to incorporate exceptional children’s literature, strengthen emotional intelligence, and sharpen math and reading skills through focused thematic learning. Children have a deep curiosity about humanity, a thirst for exploring the world, and a desire to express creativity. Through Mighty Books & Brains, I hope to share a framework built with a foundation of connection, joy, and purpose that reflects the amazing things children can accomplish.
