🔥 Ignite Meaningful Learning This February

February is a month of meaningful learning at Smart Kidz Club, where premium, knowledge-based books help young children grow into strong readers and informed citizens of the world.

In the United States, February marks Black History Month, a time to honor the achievements of African Americans and recognize their vital role in shaping our nation's history. In our Famous People collection, children can explore beautifully crafted biographies of influential Black leaders who changed the course of U.S. history. Thoughtfully written for young learners, these books are perfect for read-alouds that spark curiosity, build comprehension, and inspire big ideas in growing minds.

Celebrating Chinese New Year

February also brings a vibrant global celebration welcoming the Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival. In 2026, the festivities begin on February 17 and continue through February 5, 2027. 🔥🐎

At Smart Kidz Club, children can learn all about this important cultural celebration through our engaging, knowledge-based book on the Chinese New Year and the country of China. Young readers discover the traditions, symbols, and meaning behind the 16-day celebration, which starts with family gatherings and joyful customs and ends with the dazzling Lantern Festival on March 3, 2026—a night made even more special by a rare total lunar eclipse. 🌕🏮

It's a wonderful opportunity for children to explore world cultures, build global awareness, and grow as curious, informed citizens—one book at a time.
