Endorsements for Solomon’s work:
“Leave it to a 12-year-old to create my kids’ favorite history book this year! A launching pad for the important stuff. Short and sweet. Easy to use and leaves my kids wanting more history! A homeschool dad’s godsend for a topic kids typically find boring. Well done, Solomon!”
~ Kirk Cameron

“I am frequently asked how to teach history to young children. I suggest that parents tell stories and give them history in short bites. Solomon Schmidt has done just that with the History Bites series. These books are lavishly illustrated with appropriate images and text that in a few trenchant sentences gets to the essence of the topics. Perfect little books for the youngest person to whom you want to start teaching history.”
~ Bill Potter
Renowned historian, international tour leader
“I love these books! Simple yet fun, easy yet informative, better than ‘A Dummies Guide’ and full of important facts presented in an easy-to-remember way. Solomon has mixed a bit of common sense with a bit of design genius to catch and keep my attention.”
~ Andrew Pudewa
Director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW)
About the Author:
Solomon Schmidt has been passionate about history for as long as he can remember. When he was twelve, Solomon was inspired to write a book about U.S. history for children that would get them interested in the people and events that shaped America. This book became U.S. History Bites, which was published in March 2016. Since then, he has written seven other books .
Over the last few years, Solomon has traveled across the United States to exhibit his books, speak at educational conferences, and interview noteworthy historical figures as part of the History Bites YouTube channel. When he is not researching and writing, Solomon enjoys spending time with his family and friends, playing tennis, and participating in Civil Air Patrol.
