The Constitution Kids Introduces a Public Civic Learning Platform Built Around Story

The Constitution Kids, originally released as a story-based exploration of the United States Constitution, has expanded into a public learning platform designed to help people of all ages better understand how civic systems work in everyday life.

The platform builds on the book’s narrative foundation, using story as an entry point into broader civic concepts such as authority, rights, participation, and constitutional structure. Rather than focusing on advocacy or political positions, the site emphasizes understanding how systems function and why they matter.

“Our goal was never just to sell a book,” said Gary Gabel, author of The Constitution Kids. “The story was meant to open a door. This platform gives readers a place to walk through that door, explore ideas, ask questions, and make sense of how the Constitution shows up in real life.”

Educator focused, publicly accessible

The platform is fully accessible without requiring an account, allowing educators and families to explore and use materials freely. Future phases will introduce optional educator tools for creating and customizing lessons, while maintaining clear boundaries to ensure civic, nonpartisan use.

“Our intention is to support educators, not burden them,” Gabel added. “This is about providing tools that help students understand how systems work, not telling them what to think.”

Responding to a moment of renewed civic interest

The expansion of The Constitution Kids platform comes at a time when questions about civic systems, authority, and participation are increasingly present in public conversation. By grounding learning in story and historical context, the platform aims to make complex ideas more approachable without oversimplifying them.
