Kit's Special Stamp: Everyone Knows It's Mine
Book 12 of Kit's Little Sparks. By Chris Kuczynski, an engineer turned patent attorney and a co-founder of a preschool.
Kit made something. Kit shared it. Now Kit wants the world to know who made it. Out comes Kit's special stamp. It is small. It is round. It has Kit's initials inside. Kit presses it gently onto the invention. Sparks lights up. Now the invention has its maker's mark.
This is your child's first lesson in trademark, taught in a way a toddler can hold. A trademark is just a special mark that says "this is mine, and you can trust it came from me." Kit's stamp is the same idea, shrunk to a preschooler's scale. Famous inventors had marks. Famous makers had marks. Now Kit has one, and your child can have one too.
Book 12 is also the practical preview of Series 2 (Kit's Inventor Workshop), where the four pillars of intellectual property (trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret) get full treatment. Book 12 is the gentle introduction to the first pillar. No legal jargon. Just a small round stamp and a proud child.
Illustrated in soft watercolor with Kit's stamp appearing on every spread. Sturdy board pages. Free read-along audio. Free educator guide with a "design your own stamp" activity sheet.
For parents who want their child to feel ownership over their work. For preschool teachers introducing early symbol literacy. For families starting a family stamp tradition.
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.
Make a special stamp for your child. It can be initials, a drawing, or a symbol they choose. Press it onto something they made. Book 13 is where Kit learns what to do when someone else copies their work.
