In 2019, a group of educators, parents, authors, and illustrators formed a team to close the achievement gap by producing a FUNNY chapter book series that features smart, relatable, Black characters (see www.mattmaxxbooks.com).

Big Monty Books Are Designed To: Increase Fluency, Improve Comprehension, Explode Vocabulary, Solidify Sight Words, Promote STEM with Science Experiments at the End of Chapters, Raises Test Scores, Relate to Students Who Don’t Like to Read

We raised $25,000, enough money to print 1000 copies of the first book to send to schools across Mississippi. We also did a dozen INTERACTIVE school presentations.
Guess what happened in the schools where we presented?

We started getting emails like this:

“Could you please send more books? There is a waiting list for the book in the library.” - Overstreet Elementary

“My child hates to read, but he heard the Big Monty book at school and wants another one. When is the next one coming out?” - A. Martin

“My son loves the book. He uses it as his reading log selection. So happy to find a book about positive Black children with a science theme.” - Amazon Review

We knew we hit our mark.
