Dear Parents, Teachers, and Guardians
When I first envisioned Teach Them Right Books as a name for a company, I asked myself: "What if learning could be more than facts and figures—what if it could shape the heart as much as the mind?" That question grew into a mission: to create children's books that are rooted in empathy, creativity, and love. Overtime, Teach Them Right Books became more than a name—it became a passion. A passion to nurture not only knowledge, but also kindness, resilience, and good choices. Whether through stories that invite laughter and imagination, or lessons that celebrate problem-solving and collaboration, together we share a common goal: to guide young minds — joyfully, lovingly, and wisely.
Thank you for walking this path with us. Your support makes it possible to teach our children not just what is right, but what is just. We are in this together. Together, we shall prevail. Lastly, take it from me—an imperfect man—the "right" in Teach Them Right doesn't claim to be the only path. But it's a path, rooted in love, reflection, and purpose. And that, in itself, makes it right enough.
