and transmission to what we can do to stop them, in this

these questions with playfulness and humor, while Wendy Panders'
quirky and enlightening illustrations bring the text to life. Snot,
Sneezes, and Super-Spreaders is an accessible and engaging guide to

doom and gloom. The value and importance of vaccines for addressing
viral diseases. Fascinating, icky diseases of the past-and those
that still hang around today. The science behind how to protect
ourselves and our communities from current and future viruses.

is our planet's most important resource, yet it's easy to overlook

across the planet offers fascinating insights into how water is

flora and fauna of the rainforest; cloud formations and the weather
they predict; natural phenomena such as the tiger bush; why rivers
flood; what causes a tsunami. Presented in lively and engaging

illustrations, trivia, and sidebars that encourage further
exploration and experimentation. Best of all, it makes young
readers aware just how deeply entwined their futures are with the
health of our planet's water.
