What's In It
What's In It
43 verified Black inventors — with patent numbers printed on the page, not promised on a website. Names your child has never heard of, with explanations clear enough that a 4-year-old can follow and substantive enough that you'll be learning too. Every fact was checked against the original source before it went to print. No errors that detonate the first time a teacher pushes back.
Not just African Americans. The full diaspora — the Caribbean, Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, West Africa. Because modern Black people don't all come from the same place, and every child deserves to see where their people specifically built something.
How To Use
How To Use
One entry a night before bed. That's it. Each entry is self-contained — no chapter dependencies, no catching up. Just pick it up, read one, and put it down. Most families do it as part of the bedtime routine. Most kids start asking for the next one before you've closed the cover.

Actually seeing results!
I'm from the south, grew up in the church, thought I knew Black history. This book had me googling names I never heard of in my life. My daughter already knew them. He's 7. I can't explain it but something shifted in our house.

Exactly as described on the label!
Not even playing. This boy will come find me at 10pm talking about "mama we didn't do the book." That has never happened with anything. Ever. Front Porch Press did something with this one fr.

The flavor is a hit
Baby corrected her teacher in front of the whole class and had the receipts to back it up. I sat in the car for a minute after pickup. Just proud. This book is different. We not putting it down.
We know what you're thinking.
📦 "Same 20 people?" Nope. 43 inventors. Names you've never heard of.
✅ "Is this actually true?" Every patent number pulled from the original document. Look them up yourself.
📖 "Too hard for my kid?" Ages 4–12. One entry a night. Simple enough for a 4-year-old.
Every day the internet hands your child a version of who they are. We started Front Porch Press™ because we watched it happen to our own kids — and we got tired of waiting for someone else to fix it.
Our goal is simple: get something into their hands before the world does. A real record. Named people, verified facts, patent numbers on the page — enough that when someone tells them their people never built anything, they don't freeze.
They answer back.
