That you are working on such a book is beyond awesome.
The earlier kids are introduced to science the better.
I can't post links yet, but if you search "Georgia's Telescope," you'll come up with the crowdfunding link on Kickstarter! If you know any parents/educators who would like this, let them know

I've been a lurker on a lot of these forums/websites. Read crazy stories, read weird stories, read wholesome stories. You name it...
Here's mine:
The interesting thing was that I was unintentionally introduced to a lot of religions as a kid. My family is Hmong, refugees of the Vietnam War from Laos. I was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and grew up in a conservative town in Wisconsin, and then moved to a liberal one: Madison, Wisconsin. Which is pretty diverse for Wisconsin, so I saw a lot of other cultures and religions...
I had heard many origin stories, but no secular ones surprisingly! I finally heard about the Big Bang theory in 6th grade. And as a found my love for science and teaching, I realized that the Big Bang theory needed a story too.
As an educator now, I'm actually working to publish the first book to explain the Big Bang theory to preschoolers!
Wow you had an interesting childhood. My aunt was miss Thailand years ago and was always the sweetest thing me. Great idea to do Big Bang Theory children's book. Educating young ones is key to progressing past the restraints of religion. Tell me when u get it published I'd love to show it to my educator clients.
Hey! Try searching "Georgia's Telescope," on kickstarter – I'm trying to crowdfund the book – thanks!
Hi everyone! Seems like some people are interested in the book – I can't post links yet, but you can search for "Georgia's Telescope" – I'm trying to crowdfund it on Kickstarter actually!
