Art and games are magic that can transform mere learning into enthusiasm.



Why Art

Our flagship 'Little Sumerian' cards offer a smooth and organic transition from drawing pictures into reading and writing. Instead of crushing kids' natural enthusiasm to discover and learn by pushing them to memorize the end product of thousands of years' evolution right away, we offer titles for children to read the pictures and draw the words™ just as the ancient civilizations did 5 thousand years ago. Because as a first step into literacy, we think that

Writing as a product of Art is Best Practiced Through Art


Evolution of Sumerian writing

and of course Games, too.

I draw words

After drawing faces, trees, peanuts I started to draw words for my son when he was a kindergartner. Seeing good results, my drawings found their way into "Little Sumerian" cards followed by "It is not a cat, It is a monkey" picture book. Along the way, I drew many words in several languages that eventually formed up "Budding Linguist" dictionary. I hope my drawings help kids enjoy reading and writing and encourage them to write their own words, sentences and stories. And who knows maybe in more than one language.
