Good science deserves a good story.

Psychology research holds secrets for how to live a happy, successful life, but it often gets trapped in scientific journals. Psyched Books publishes children's stories that let it out, so kids can pick up positive mindsets early.

Our first book, The Angry Ostrich, is about how Ollie finally learned to fly once he learned the best style of communication: collaboration. The original story and drawings are by Keith Warter, with illustrations by Latorree Howard.

Keith came up with the idea for the book and for Psyched Books in the last year of studying psychology at UC Berkeley, then developed it as a K-12 science teacher in New Orleans.

Gopher is up next, with a book about grit and growth mindset.
