Pretty crazy times right now huh? Parents, I feel your pain too, especially with online learning the past few months!
I often get asked what are my top STEM book recommendations for kids? I have two kids of my own too and I want to make sure they make the most of their school break and have some fun in the process.
The reality is, there aren’t a lot of great STEM books and most are still the typical boring reference books we grew up with… this is why my daughter and I co-wrote a kid mystery book with a STEM element in it, titled “Sparky & Benny’s Big Home Mystery” it’s a heartwarming and inspiring story of climate change, told through the eyes of two curious and determined kid whales, who are on a mission to find out why they are losing their homes, who is destroying it and how they can stop it. Launching in October 2020 with Bookazine in HK, pre-ordering is now available! It will be fun and inspiring reading for you and your child(ren).
