Hi, I'm Katherine Goodman
I'm a mother, writer and creator with a degree in sociology. I made my very first board game when I was six years old, and I have been inventing games ever since, each one a little more complex than the last.
When I became a mom, I wanted my own child to grow up with that same curiosity and creativity, and to spend less time with gadgets. That is how The Reading Squirrel began.
Our mission is simple: to spark your child's interest in the world around them through games, reading and hands-on activities. When you give the right book at the right time, it opens a whole new world for your little one.
With love, Katherine
“This book is a great book to teach your kid cutting skills and is very engaging.”Farangiz, Amazon customer
