about

At Mighty Little Beings, our mission is to help children become brilliant thinkers and happy humans, thriving in measurable and immeasurable ways. We believe the most profound learning takes place when connection, joy, & purpose serve as the foundation of curriculum. Mighty Books & Brains incorporates outstanding authentic children’s literature to build emotional intelligence, spark creative thinking, and get curious brains busy 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.

 

Projects & Play

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. It’s never too early to ignite the spirit of a young scientist, historian, or engineer!

 

 

 

 

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 7 and 5).  I believe 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 curriculum that better reflects how curious and amazing children are and increase their sense of flow and fulfillment as their mighty brains grow.
