Solomon Schmidt has been passionate about history for as long as he can remember. When he was twelve, Solomon was inspired to write a book about U.S. history for children that would get them interested in the people and events that shaped America. This book became U.S. History Bites, which was published in March 2016. Since then, he has written four other books (see Home Page).

Other “Fun Facts” about Solomon: He was born in 2003 and lives in New York with his parents and three siblings, two of whom are adopted from Ethiopia. In the last few years, he and his older sister, Cecelia, have been traveling across the United States with their family, speaking and exhibiting their books at homeschool conventions and schools. When he is not researching and writing, Solomon also enjoys reading historical biographies and classic works of fiction, playing the piano, participating in Civil Air Patrol, spending time with his family, and playing outside.
