About Us

Every job builds the world — and every kid can dream big.

Amazing Trades Books creates children's books that introduce young readers to the people who build, repair, and power the world around them: welders, electricians, crane operators, linemen, and more.

I'm a welder myself, and I started this company after watching the growing skills gap up close — a generation of skilled tradespeople retiring, and not enough young people coming up behind them to fill their boots. Kids grow up surrounded by books about doctors, astronauts, and firefighters, but rarely see the people who build the buildings they live in or keep the lights on. I wanted to change that.

Our first book, Amazing Trades: Heroes Who Build Our World, is written for kids ages 5-10 and designed to spark curiosity about careers that don't always get the spotlight — but keep everything running. Whether your child dreams of driving a crane or just loves trucks and tools, we hope this book helps them see a future full of possibility.

Thank you for supporting independent children's publishing.
