Every morning Papa combs through his daughter's waves like he does
his own -- parting it down the middle, using coconut oil to get all
the tangles out. Some days he braids her hair in two twists down
the side of her face. Other days he weaves it into one long braid
hanging down her back, just like a unicorn tail. But her favorite
style is when he combs her hair in a tight bun on the top of her
head, just like the joora he wears every day under his turban. They
call this their hair twin look!

A melting snowman leads her-of course!-to explore climate change
and how to reduce her carbon footprint. The helium balloons at her
eleventh birthday party beg questions-naturally!-of molecular
structure, weights of gases,and neutral buoyancy. An afternoon
making paper airplanes brings discoveries in aerodynamics. Tracks
in the snow raise questions of how animals survive the winter. And
an afternoon of sledding slides right into an investigation of
momentum, acceleration, and friction. Acadia doesn't mean to do
science-it just happens. She's curious, determined, bold, and
bright-a wonderful STEAM ambassador! The Acadia Files is a fun
introduction to the wonders of science,using real-world scenarios
to make scientific inquiry relatable and understandable. Parents
and educators can use The Acadia Files to let kids discover for
themselves what it's like to be curious about the world and to
satisfy that curiosity with scientific thinking.

see at her favorite local pond? Why do leaves change color in the
fall, and why don't evergreen needles do the same? What is the
water cycle, and what is transpiration? How do time zones work, and
why does the sun set at different times in different places within
a single zone? How do germs infect us? Acadia doesn't mean to do

give her the answers. "Conduct an experiment," they tell her. "Use
the scientific method." So Acadia makes hypotheses, designs
experiments, analyzes data, and draws conclusions. Acadia does
science. The author, Katie Coppens writes a recurring column for
NSTA's middle school magazine Science Scope on science and literacy

Listen to the music of the trees. This joyful book follows the life
cycle of a tree as it grows from seedling to mature tree, and
finally gives way to a new sapling. At every stage of the tree's
life, children are seen playing under its branches. Each season
brings with it new sounds, whether it's the chirping of birds in
the spring or the flitter flutter of leaves in the fall. As well as
a home for animals, the tree provides a canopy for a summer picnic,
and a perfect place to hang a swing. Most important of all, when
old age fells the tree, it provides an acorn from which a new tree
will grow. Colorful illustrations with lots of small details will
capture the attention of young readers, while the lyrical text
makes this an ideal read-aloud book. It can also serve as the
perfect introduction to nature's life cycles.
