Description

When curious squirrel Curie notices a baby bird learning to fly for the first time, she can't wait to try too! But everyone tells her that squirrels can't fly. Determined, Curie decides to conduct her own experiment with the help of her big brother Newton. Can they find a way to soar in the sky

Gently exploring the science of flight with simple, kid-friendly explanations of topics including gravity, air currents, air pressure, and lift, this light introduction to the principles of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) from bestselling author-illustrator Daniel Kirk depicts an inquisitive and resourceful sibling team who solve real-life problems together-and have a lot of fun along the way.

Reviews

The STEM concepts are effectively elucidated in the narrative and further expanded on in the backmatter . . . Science could hardly have cuter advocates. A clear, appealing blend of science and sibling strategizing. * Kirkus *
