Book 2 of Kit's Little Sparks, the only children's library built from a patent attorney's classroom and patent practice.Kit is on a walk. The world is full of interesting things, but something is different today. There is a small light hovering at the edge of Kit's view. It blinks. It dances. It does not act like anything Kit has seen before. Kit follows. Sparks follows back. By the end of the walk, Kit has a new friend, and that friend has a name.Every great inventor has a Sparks, the friend or feeling or idea that shows up at the moment they need it most. For Kit, Sparks is a tiny floating light that points out the interesting things Kit might have missed. For your child, Sparks is the first lesson in collaboration: ideas grow faster when you have a friend to share them with.Book 2 builds on Book 1's noticing skill and adds the second pillar of the inventor's mindset: the willingness to follow what surprises you. Children at this age are wired for it. They chase a butterfly without asking why. They watch ants for an hour. Sparks gives them a story for what they were already doing.Illustrated in warm watercolor on durable board pages built for toddler hands. Ships with a free read-along audio voiced for the youngest listeners, plus a free educator guide and activity sheet.For parents whose child has just discovered a "shadow friend" of their own. For preschool teachers building social-emotional curriculum. For grandparents who remember following a firefly across a backyard.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.Try a Sparks walk with your child this week. Pretend a small floating light is leading you both. Let your child decide where it goes. Notice what THEY notice. The next book, Kit Sees a Puzzle, is where Kit's noticing turns into something useful.
