Explode an early interest in science with this introduction to chemistry! Make the invisible exciting with these five award-winning picture books that lay the foundations of basic chemistry. This book set contains the complete My First Science Textbook series, along with Mole and Tell and Women in Chemistry. We start with the essential building blocks for everything in the universe--from the water you drink to the hair on your head to the book in your hands. Designed to spark a natural love of science, Atoms, Protons and Neutrons, and Electrons present the story of subatomic particles in the form of friendly characters. Next, in Mole and Tell, six inquisitive kids use the power of their curiosity to put together a Show and Tell like you've never seen before. This delightful introduction to universal standards of measurement gives us the perfect lead-in to learning about some of history's groundbreaking chemists in Women in Chemistry. Read these books to the children in your life... you're sure to get a reaction! Teacher's Guides available on the publisher's website.
Mary Wissinger, author of Women Chemistry and the My First Science Textbook series, was born in Wisconsin where she spent most of her childhood singing, reading, and daydreaming. She dove into storytelling through acting, singing, and writing (and writing and writing!). A former teacher, she can now be found at her standing desk in St. Louis, MO, writing stories that inspire curiosity about the world and connection with others. To learn more about Mary, you can check out her website, MaryWissinger.com. Catherine Payne, author of Mole and Tell, worked as a journalist after earning master's degrees from Harvard and Columbia Universities. After returning to her native Guam, she became an English instructor and tutor. Catherine especially loves writing books that transport children to happy places. The inspiration she draws from Pacific cultures helps her appreciate the interconnectedness of all things. When John Payne II, Catherine's brother and co-author of Mole and Tell, discovered superhero comic books, it sparked a lifelong love of reading that led to an interest in speech and language. After pursuing degrees at San Jose State University and the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, John now works with kids as a speech clinician in Guam.
