Young Minds

Our children need a foundation to bolster their thinking, and reading opens the doorways for future minds that will change the future for the better.  We have collected stories and authors who we feel ignite the imagination as well as reflect our values.

Your purchases will help fund our operations.

Mark Twain, James Fenimore Cooper, Elizabeth George Speare and more

Americana and American values in great tales.  Twain’s Huckleberry Finn has been been banned in many schools and libraries.  To Kill A Mockingbird has recently been targeted as well.  Many of these, products of their times, reveal more about racism and the calls to further freedom by righting those wrongs.  That paints a far different and more accurate picture than what our kids are taught today.
