Award-winning children’s books that kids want to read.

Talking Science

A cozy hug is one meter wide, a good night's sleep is 41,400 seconds long, and an African elephant weighs almost 5,500 kilograms. No matter where you are in the world, scientists use these same units of measurement to communicate with one another.

Talking Science brings science vocabulary to life for even the youngest children. With inviting and fun illustrations by Lilia Miceli, this innovative children's book uses kid-friendly examples to show readers how big ideas can be shared―and how science connects us all.

Part folk tale, part learning story, and part love letter to measurement, Talking Science sparks curiosity and reminds us what we can achieve when we all work together.

Talking Science Book Cover: Children play together near a stack of stuffed animals. They use a measuring tape and a scale to measure the pile.
