This month there are two posts! This first one is about STEM books for kids. The second post on April 15, is an author interview, book blurb, with a chance to win a copy! I'm excited to be on this blog tour. You don't want to miss all these incredible books.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Daytime Star (Skytime) Board Book by Elizabeth Everett (Author), Beatriz Castro (Illustrator)

How I wonder what you are… the Sun, our most important star!
We see the Sun every day. When we wake up, it rises with us. During the day, it gives us light and keeps us warm. But the Sun is just a star and there are billions of others. So why is this one so important?
A science lesson wrapped in a familiar rhyme, Twinkle, Twinkle, Daytime Star introduces children to the many ways the Sun affects our world, from small things we experience every day on planet Earth, to the way our entire solar system functions.
Readers discover how this one special star affects Earth's orbit and rotation, day and night, the changing seasons, the length of a year, the lives of plants and animals, and the production of energy and radiation, light and shadows, and even vitamins.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Daytime Star is a must-have for any child who is curious about the world around them. With glowing illustrations and a well-known beginning, this charming story is a cozy way to learn about the one-of-a-kind star that makes everything possible. In this book, the Sun truly shines!
This is a fun take on the Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star song. A great introduction to the only star in our solar system and how it affects people, animals, and plants on earth. It shows the passage of time, seasons and how long a calendar year is. The rhyme coupled with the kid-centric illustrations make this colorful and accessible for all. And you can get it in a bilingual English/Spanish edition.
This is the Sun by Elizabeth Everett (Author), Evelline Andrya (Illustrator)

This is the Sun that makes the world go round!
From the tiniest animal to the tallest tree, everything on Earth is connected through the circle of life. But at the center of it all is a different kind of circle—the Sun!
Through a charming story with rhythmic repetition, young children are introduced to the bright Sun that provides energy for life on Earth.
Follow along as a young tree uses light from the Sun to make its own food, then passes its energy along the food chain… until it circles all the way back to a brand-new sprout growing toward the Sun. Readers see how each living thing in the food web provides energy to the next, over and over again.
The vibrant collage art grows along with the increasingly multilevel story. As you read, look for the bug, spider, lizard, fox, and more as they move through each of the pages and build a full ecosystem.
This is the Sun gives readers a glimpse into how all the living things are connected through the circle of life—and the role the Sun plays in making it all possible.
This is another fun take on the song, There Was an Old Woman. Beautiful collage artwork builds and incorporates all the plants, animals, the tree and the sun. This is a circle of life book, as well, but completely different than the one above. We follow the sunlight and the tree, all the way through the bugs, reptiles, animals, and seeds that grow again from the sun.
Both of these books are beautiful and colorful with repetition that kids love.
