Smart Parts Books is reimagining how young children engage with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through a story-driven blend of rhyme, humor, and imagination. Founded by a U.S. Army veteran and high-tech industry veteran, the brand addresses a growing need for STEM learning that meets children where they are through storytelling that feels natural, engaging, and human.
At a time when children are surrounded by technology earlier than ever, Smart Parts offers a creative entry point into STEM that builds curiosity and confidence from the start. Rather than relying on rigid instruction or abstract explanations, the book uses playful language and imaginative scenarios to help children ages 4–9 absorb science concepts in ways that feel intuitive and enjoyable.
The inspiration for Smart Parts came directly from the author’s experience raising twins and observing what truly captures young minds. Recognizing the gap between traditional educational materials and how children naturally learn, the author designed the book to align with how kids explore the world through repetition, rhythm, humor, and story.
The author’s professional background brings a unique perspective to children’s STEM education. After serving in the U.S. Army, he spent decades working in the high-tech industry, witnessing firsthand how deeply STEM shapes modern life and future opportunities. Combined with growing up in a community where educational resources were limited, this experience created a strong motivation to develop learning tools that are both effective and accessible.
What sets Smart Parts apart is its ability to weave scientific ideas into narratives children want to return to again and again. The rhyming structure supports memory and language development, while humor keeps learning light and inviting. Parents and educators report that repeated readings naturally reinforce STEM vocabulary and concepts without feeling instructional or forced.
Recognizing that access to quality educational materials remains uneven, Smart Parts Books has also launched an initiative to support underserved and Title I schools. The program provides free downloadable narrated video books and companion STEM activity packs designed for group listening and hands-on learning. These resources help educators introduce science concepts in engaging ways while removing cost barriers for schools with limited budgets.
The activity packs extend learning beyond the story itself, offering simple, adaptable projects that reinforce key ideas through creative exploration. Designed for use in classrooms, libraries, and homeschool settings, these activities require minimal materials and encourage curiosity, collaboration, and problem-solving.
Smart Parts serves families, educators, homeschool communities, and librarians seeking STEM resources that are both meaningful and enjoyable. The book functions as a read-aloud, an independent reading option for emerging readers, and a springboard for broader conversations about science and technology.
Looking ahead, Smart Parts Books is expanding the series with an upcoming sequel, The Smart Parts Adventures of Mason and Morgan McPeterson: Bits and Bytes. Currently nearing delivery to the publisher, the next installment will explore modern technology topics such as robots, coding, and Wi-Fi, continuing the brand’s mission to make STEM approachable through story.
At its core, Smart Parts reflects a belief that early exposure to science should feel inviting rather than intimidating. By combining lived experience, professional expertise, and a deep respect for childhood imagination, the series aims to help every child see themselves as capable, curious learners in a world increasingly shaped by STEM.
