A phonemic awareness picture book series.
A phonemic awareness picture book series developed to meet children exactly where they are, in the earliest, most critical window of literacy development, and walk them through it with characters who look like them and an educational anchor named Gigi who loves them enough to pay attention.
Book 1 is complete and the series bible covers five books, each built around a specific phonemic milestone.
Built to be lived in, not just read.
Built inside Amatahc Enterprises.
Kali & Ekon Universe was developed inside Amatahc Enterprises LLC as the enterprise's founding intellectual property division. Authored under the credit Chatama McFarland (as Gigi), the series grew out of two decades of work in education, customer service, and global operations, channeled into a literacy framework built specifically for the earliest readers.
The series is built and governed under Vellum & Hart, Amatahc's educational publishing imprint, which provides the curriculum architecture and academic infrastructure beneath every book.
Five books. One classroom-ready system.
Five books total, moving from sound discrimination through blending, segmenting, and manipulation. Designed for classrooms, families, and literacy environments where children are learning how language works. Book 1 is complete and the series bible is locked through all five installments.
