Introduce your little ones to Dr. Ochoa’s galaxy – and how there are little scientists within the atmosphere! In the first in series, Dr. Ochoa’s Stellar World , of STEAM concept board books, We Are All Scientists / Todos somos científicos , Dr. Ellen Ochoa explores how children have an innate drive for discovery. Science is all around us, and children are born with a keen desire to explore, making them natural scientists. From learning physics by juggling and grasping biology through observing a nest of fledglings, this book inspires young readers to embrace the fact that the world is their very own scientific playground. It’s true that all our little ones are born scientists, and this series is just the place to start to power their minds. Parents will adore this bilingual English-Spanish board book that specifies the different ways science is involved in almost all our little ones' daily activities. This educational book serves as a blueprint to the ways your little one can explore the world, they live in. PreS-K—This lovely board book shows young children that if they are curious, ask questions, and love to explore, they are scientists! An introductory spread shares the importance of curiosity in science and is followed by several spreads exploring the different types of scientists and some of the things that they do. Physicists study gravity. Biologists are interested in all living things. Meteorologists study storms. A final spread encourages readers to see themselves as scientists if they often find themselves wondering: Why? Each spread contains a sentence in English and its Spanish translation, providing short but informative details about each type of scientist. Colorful and creative corresponding illustrations show a cast of diverse characters enjoying activities, such as baking, observing the planets, exploring nature, and studying rocks—things young readers may already enjoy in their everyday lives. VERDICT This bilingual board book is a great way to show that science is all around us and to encourage readers to go out and explore.
