Mia Volo Books began when a grandmother started writing for her young grandson. She wanted him to experience history through engaging stories, much as she had learned from the classic children’s books she loved as a child.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‌

That idea became Kavi’s Stone Age Adventures. By following one family through everyday challenges, children learn how people solved problems and gradually changed the way humans lived. History becomes an adventure they can understand and remember, rather than a collection of disconnected facts.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‌

Today, Mia Volo Books is three generations of one family, all helping bring Grandma’s books to more homes. The stories are written for parents to read and discuss with their children, and to help them learn how people lived long ago and how the natural world works.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‌
