❤️📖 We are PaperPie! 📚🥰

📃PAPER is our medium of communication. It literally brings our mission to life - in books, game pieces, and activities. We offer exceptional, innovative, and joy-filled ways for children to connect with learning. We’re passionate about how children consume information. As the world fights for their attention with shiny, noisy devices, it’s never felt more important for literacy and learning tools to feed children's imagination, grow their emotions, and nourish their minds.

🥧When you think of PIE, you think of something to be gathered around, something to be shared, an experience worth savoring. That’s what we think our business opportunity and products are!
Literacy and learning as a lifestyle, stories made to share, and moments that inspire you to gather.

As the PaperPie chapter begins, we're still proud to offer the same amazing products from Kane Miller Books, Usborne books, and Learning Wrap-ups, as well as the addition of SmartLab Toys!!

You belong here with us, helping children and communities do greater and be greater. Let's all turn the page together and start this amazing new season together!

How it started….💚📚💙

I partnered with Usborne Books & More in May of 2020…. going on 3 years ago. It was during our time at home in the midst of the pandemic when I was teaching virtually. It was exactly what I didn’t know I needed… I just love to look back at God’s orchestrated plan. 🥰 I was able to become a work-at-home mom when Marleigh’s pregnancy took us all by surprise and put me on modified bedrest at just 10 weeks along. 🥴 I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without this as my outlet throughout my traumatic pregnancy, and without the incredible community of women I became good friends with. Now I’ve learned to work my business in the nooks and crannies of my day, no matter what I have going on, and it’s become a huge part of my life that allows me to share my passion of literacy with you all!! 🤗 My family has been able to enjoy purchases such as a swing set, new laptops, extracurriculars for the kids and another Disney vacation coming up! William and I are comfortable and not stressing about finances anymore! When I transition back to working in the classroom, I fully plan to maintain this book biz and use the books, fundraisers, etc. for my school! ❤️

It's time for a new chapter in 2023... because we’re getting a brand new NAME! We’re also getting brand new BOOKS, a new logo & colors, AND a brand new ✨STEM/STEAM LEARNING TOY✨ product line to add to our Usborne, Kane Miller, and Learning Wrap-Ups. 🤯🤩😍 I mean…. How exciting!!!!! 👏🏻

So many of you have been wonderful supporters on this literacy mission WITH me, and I can’t wait to introduce you to the new face of our company! 🥳

Today our company CEO, CSMO, and CFO was in NYC at NASDAQ to ring the closing bell and show off our name in all its five-story glory in Times Square. 👏🏼🎉 I’m beyond excited to share more about the changes coming in the new year. It’s never been a better time to be a Storymaker - we’re just getting started!!! 📚

We know everyone loves a good picture book, but do you know the SIX important things reading them does for your child?

1️⃣ Develops language
Picture books help children understand that words have meaning, by connecting what they see in the pictures to the written words on the page.

2️⃣ Grows reading comprehension - The pictures share important context and details that young readers may not yet be able to infer from the words. Children learn that these pictures are visual clues to the story.

3️⃣ Expands sequencing ability - Children look at the pictures to discover what will happen next and make predictions. They also use pictures to remind them what has just happened. This helps children identify beginning, middle, and end parts of a story, along with the key skills of being able to summarize a plot.

4️⃣ Deepens a love of reading - The fun and joy of reading is sparked by time together in picture books. Colorful and engaging pictures help hold a child's attention as they discover the magic of literacy. Being with a caregiver, experiencing a story together creates powerful multi-sensory memories and positive emotions around reading.

5️⃣ Builds empathy and social-emotional learning - We often find safe approaches to complex subjects like grief, fear, anger, friendship building, taking risks, cultural differences, and more within the pages of story books. They offer outlets for emotions and launching pads for discussion through characters children can identify with or learn from.

6️⃣ Encourages conversations and connections - As the pages turn and questions are asked, child and parent or teacher connections are built. A conversation starts around a picture, a theme, or a new word. We also find repetition in many picture books which lets children be involved in the telling of the story.

Many of us know that we should read with our kids to help them improve not only their reading ability but also their reading comprehension. But how exactly do we do that? Sometimes I know I struggle with what questions I should ask after we read a story, especially if it's a chapter book. Did you know that many of our reading sets like the My First Reading Library actually have comprehension puzzles in the back of the book?

For those books that you read with your children that don't have handy puzzles or questions in them, use this list to help!

Two years ago we were in the beginning stages of a 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰.. none of us really knowing when it would end. I was still hoping to be back in the classroom with my kindergarten students! 😔

Fast forward to present time and there is still 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘺 and 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘴!

I am so grateful that I've had my UBAM book business as a constant throughout these past 2 years. It eased my mind knowing I had it to fall back on and has been an incredible outlet for me too while staying home! Books are a necessity, providing education, entertainment and endless other important skills to our kids.

There is a seat at our table, for everyone who would like to join us - whether it's for additional income to supplement extra expenses, form relationships and friendships with other like minded individuals or to add to your home library!

Let's chat! I would love help you find out if this is the right fit for you! 💜
