Química de pastelitos (Spanish Edition)

Join Rihanna and Andre as a baking mishap turns into a fun lesson about chemistry, measurement, and precision-because STEAM is everywhere and for everyone! Part of STEAMWORKS, a series of fiction picture books for ages 4-7 that relate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to kids' everyday lives. Rihanna and Andre love helping their dad make barbecue sauce by adding a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Baking cupcakes to help Grandma Jean should be the same-right? But when their treats turn out misshapen and way too sweet, the siblings learn that while cooking is an art, baking is a science that requires precision. Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about chemistry and measurement and fun STEAM activities. STEAMWORKS features children of all backgrounds and abilities using scientific and mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems and answer questions that matter to them. Playful stories and extension activities ignite excitement for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) and empower children as thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators.

Tonya Duncan Ellis adds a little bit of this and a little bit of that to her favorite cookout side dishes to make them dee-licious. She volunteers with The Links, Incorporated organization to expose underrepresented children to STEAM. Tonya is author of the Sophie Washington chapter book series and the picture book They Built Me for Freedom: The Story of Juneteenth and Houston's Emancipation Park. She lives in Houston, Texas. Tiffany Rose is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges art, science, and sustainability. She brings STEAM to life by transforming recycled materials into imaginative sculptures. Tiffany remembers what it was like as a brown child not seeing herself reflected in the books she loved and has been inspired to create art and meaningful stories, so that underrepresented children can see themselves in books. She lives in the Shanghai, China. www.asouthpawdraws.com
