"Why is the sky blue?”“
What happens to food after we eat it?”“
Can my brain run out of space?”
If you've ever been stumped by a child's question, you're not alone, and you're in the perfect company.
At Smart Parts: The Adventures of Mason and Morgan McPeterson, we believe that questions are more than just a phase, they’re a superpower.
Curiosity fuels learning. It activates the brain, strengthens memory, and forms the foundation of scientific discovery. That’s why our twin superheroes, Captain Atomic (Mason) and Imaginer (Morgan), don’t just save the day—they ask big, bold questions along the way.
Why STEM + Storytelling Works
Research shows that storytelling improves comprehension and retention especially when paired with educational content. By combining STEM concepts (like how our brains, ears, eyes, and bodies work) with fun rhymes and whimsical illustrations, kids can explore the "why" and "how" of the world in ways that stick.
Instead of just memorizing facts, readers of Smart Parts are invited to laugh, imagine, and wonder.
