Cece loves science and
adventure!
In this STEM-themed
Girls in Science picture book, Cece and her Adventure Girls troop use science,
technology, engineering, and math to solve problems and earn their camping pin.
Illustrated by New York Times–bestseller Vashti Harrison, Cece
Loves Science and Adventure is perfect for fans of Ada
Twist, Scientist and anyone who enjoys asking questions and figuring
out how things work.
Cece loves being an
Adventure Girl almost as much as she loves science, which is why she can’t wait
for her troop’s camping trip. Nature is full of science for Cece to explore!
Along with her
friends, her mom, and her dog, Einstein, Cece learns how to pitch a tent, set
up a campsite, and document landmarks on the trail. Then thunder booms in the
distance! Working together, the girls use meteorology and math to determine the
location of the storm; engineering to build a shelter; and technology and math
to calculate the length of the trek back to the campsite. After all that
teamwork, Cece’s mom gives them an Adventure Girl surprise!
Illustrated by Vashti
Harrison, author and illustrator of the New York Times–bestselling Little
Leaders: Bold Women in Black History, Cece Loves Science and
Adventure is just right for curious kids and anyone who loves to
explore the great outdoors.
Includes
a glossary.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a follow-up to Cece Loves Science, Derting and Johannes's protagonist is a science lover who struggles with activities such as sewing, jewelry-making, and dance. (Harrison's perky digital illustrations picture African-American Cece in a lab coat in her treehouse nook, microscope at-hand.) Cece prepares to go camping with her fellow Adventure Girls, her mother, and her dog Einstein. While hiking, Cece eyes the skies when dark clouds gather and her mother's GPS fails. Recalling her science teacher Ms. Curie's meteorology lesson ("Mom, I think a storm is coming"), Cece helps the campers find their way to the campsite. Derting and Johannes model the practical uses of STEM a touch heavy-handedly, but this volume continues to build out their worthy message about girls embracing science. Ages 4 8.
