It's actually true, that books about relativity exist, which are meant 
to be read by kids in school.

My own experience with SRT started actually in school.

They had a system in German schools (long ago), when I was in the 8th 
class (roughly 14 years old).

The best students in the class could choose a book and I was second best.

My selection was 'Knauers Buch der moderenen Physik' (knauers' book of 
modern physics), which was a popular book about modern physics for kids.

This book contained a part about SRT and that was the first time I heard 
about it.

Kindergardens usually do not cover SRT (or quantum mechenics), but I'm 
actually not certain, whether or not this is true for all kindergardens.
