Join Gaby in an exploration of lunar phases, because STEAM is everywhere and for everyone!
Part of STEAMWORKS, a series of fiction board books for ages 0-3 that relate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to kids’ everyday lives.
Hello, Moon! Follow along with the lunar phase cycle as Gaby fills her plate (and belly!) with foods that match the shape of the moon she sees in the sky. From a crescent to a gibbous guava, the food shapes wax and wane as the month goes on, just like lunar phases.
Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about lunar phases 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. Developed in collaboration with education experts from Count Play Explore, led by Fresno County Superintendent of Schools, Early Care and Education Department.
Delia Ruiz is the author of several children's books, including Ways Papi Says I Love You, the ¡123 Baila! board book series, and Roqui’s Pandero Beat, an International Latino Book award-winner. She currently resides in Puerto Rico with her husband, baby boy, and pug. Delia hopes to inspire the next generation of writers who also come from immigrant households.
Nomar Perez is an author-illustrator originally from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. He is the winner of the Pura Belpre Honor for Author and Illustrator for his picture book Coquí in the City. After leaving his homeland at the age of ten, Nomar found himself in touch with all types of media, including animation, puppetry, and computer art. He studied at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, and since then has worked as an illustrator and designer.
