Dear Parent or Teacher,

This project is a labor of love for me. I developed this map puzzle game series for my 3 year old daughter after I read a study in a parenting magazine about the poor geography skills typical of today's children.

My daughter has been my lil’ tester while my team & I continue to refine the Kids Maps apps to be fun, easy-to-use and educational. After the initial versions turned out so well, I decided to release this puzzle game as a product for all kids to enjoy. I have now created an entire series: United States, Europe, South & Central America, Asia & U.S. Pocket Edition for phones.

I sincerely hope your children enjoy all the fun and education built into my Kids Maps Puzzle Game Series as much as my daughter does. With your support, I will continue to make more games.

If you have feedback or any technical issues, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to your input!

Thanks again for contributing to my daughter’s college fund!
