for kids!

Hey kids, parents and teachers! To help entertain, instruct and inspire children during the COVID 19 crisis, I’ve created a video reading of my picture book Think Smart, Be Fearless along with this learning guide that’s available to download. #SCBWIConnects

In addition to the story pages, the back matter in “Think Smart, Be Fearless” contains additional resources for older children interested in learning more about Bill Gates and his work with technology and global health, including a more extensive bio, a computer history timeline, glossary of words, and more!

Do your kid-readers have any questions? Email them to me at sharon@sharonmentyka.com and I’ll post answers here periodically. And remember: wash your hands and always THINK SMART!
