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
Television and Film Actor, Producer, Homeschooling Father of Six

“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)
