Description
The best-selling author of the Baby Loves Science series levels up with this playful STEM picture book introducing kids (and grown-ups) to climate science.
Do you want to know a secret? Sometimes grown-ups need YOU to explain things to THEM. Like climate science!
In this tongue-in-cheek guide, an in-the-know narrator instructs kid readers in the fine art of explaining climate science to a grown-up. Both children and their adults learn:
- The difference between weather and climate.
- How climate scientists collect data.
- What causes climate change.
- What we can do to reverse course and repair the planet.
Fun and fact-filled, the How to Explain Science to a Grown-Up series will empower kid experts to explore complex scientific concepts with any grown-up who will listen.
