Many young gifted children sense that they’re different from the other kids around them, and that can feel confusing, unsettling, and even isolating. The right books can help. That’s why we offer a selection of picture books ABOUT gifted kids FOR gifted kids. These books help gifted children understand themselves, appreciate their strengths, and feel valued for exactly who they are.

Dr. Thomas Milton Kemnitz, president of Royal Fireworks, explains what led him to create a company with the specific goal of providing gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) kids with the resources they need to succeed—including books, online courses, and more—factoring in considerations that traditional educational materials and options don’t typically take into account. This is a powerful statement by our founder.

Gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) kids often face unexpected challenges. Royal Fireworks was founded first and foremost as a provider of materials for gifted children. Since that time, we’ve served thousands of families and educators of gifted and 2e kids. We can help guide you to the best resources to support your young learner.

Some children display signs of mathematical giftedness early on, and recognizing these traits can help you provide the right opportunities to nurture their abilities. If you’ve asked yourself whether your child may be gifted in math, these signs can help solidify your answer. (And we have resources available to help further high math ability!)

Identifying gifted students can be a challenge, especially when there are data from a variety of assessment instruments and/or multiple test cycles to sort through. But we have a book that can help: “The Accurate Identification of Gifted Students: Standardizing Test Results across Diverse Measures of Ability and Achievement.” It provides a groundbreaking method that will change the way gifted students are identified.

It can be frustrating to adults when gifted children, who have so much talent and ability, underachieve academically. One reason is a fear of failure, and this book excerpt from “The Essential Guidebook for Parents of Gifted Children” explains why this perplexing and discouraging phenomenon can happen—and, more importantly, how to change it.

We are proud to share the exciting news that “The Essential Guidebook for Parents of Gifted Children” has been awarded a Gold Mom’s Choice Award for excellence! This announcement secures “The Essential Guidebook’s” place among the outstanding books that Mom’s Choice has named as “the best in family-friendly media, products and services.”

“From time to time, it is healthy for us, as educators devoted to optimizing differentiated education for gifted children, to reexamine our most fundamental assumptions. The assumption I would like to discuss can be expressed in a question: Is gifted education a dream or a goal?” – Michael Clay Thompson

“For more than thirty years, I’ve written and spoken about the difficulties gifted kids and their families face in a world that doesn’t recognize their differences or, if it does, offers little to help them accept and cope with, let alone take joy in, those differences. It can still be difficult for such a child to believe, ‘It’s okay to be me.'” – Stephanie Tolan

“As a classroom teacher, I always tended to have high standards, and to give enormous assignments and challenges, but to be generous about grading. I think, deep down, the generosity was based partly on appreciation and admiration of the work the students were doing, but also on deep concerns about the reliability and validity of evaluation. And yet—here’s the thing—we have to do it.” – Michael Clay Thompson
