"Aliana Reaches for the Moon interweaves science and art to tell a beautiful story about a budding young scientist who serves as a wonderful mentor and role model for her younger brother." ~Grace Wolf-Chase, PhD; Astronomer, Adler Planetarium
In this charming STEAM book, early fluency will see how the light of the full moon inspires Aliana to create a present for her brother Gustavo, which will surprise the whole family.
Aliana loves observing everything in nature.
When she notices how bright the light of the full moon shines into her room, she spends time learning about the moon and experimenting with light.
As she prepares for her brother's birthday, she plans a wonderful surprise to be revealed with the next full moon.
What people are saying!
"This short early fluency’s book imparts many pearls of wisdom about the qualities of a scientist, while telling an engaging story about a girl’s caring relationship with her younger brother. Using her ingenuity, imagination, and ordinary household materials, Aliana creates a special experience for Gustavo’s 5th birthday. Aliana Reaches for the Moon encourages all early fluency – and especially girls - to read, explore, experiment, and to take notice of the natural world. There’s even an important message for parents – doing science can be messy!" ~ Grace Wolf-Chase, PhD; Astronomer, Adler Planetarium
