My grandfather could fix anything. A leaky pipe. A blown fuse. An engine that wouldn't turn over. Whatever life threw at him, he had the knowledge — and the confidence — to handle it. And for a while, he passed that on to me.
I think about him every time I meet a grown adult who can't change a tire, cook a real meal, or wire a light switch. Not because they aren't smart — they are. But because somewhere along the way, we stopped teaching the things that actually matter.
Schools pulled AutoShop. Then HomeEc. Then they handed every kid a screen and called it an education.
And so a whole generation grew up capable of navigating TikTok but lost when a pipe bursts at midnight.
That's why I started this.
The Little Generalist is a snail mail club for kids — real letters, real skills, real curiosity delivered right to their door. Every month, your child gets a piece of the world: a recipe to make with their hands, a life skill thats rarely taught anymore, a hidden curiosity from somewhere on the globe, a little knowledge that will actually stay with them.
It's for the kid who needs something to pull them off the screen. It's for the parent who worries about what their child isn't learning. It's for the next generation — who deserve to grow up capable, curious, and confident.
My grandfather taught me everything he knew. I'm just trying to pass it on.
