About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking deeper questions about how the world functions at a microscopic level or expresses a budding interest in science experiments. This guide demystifies the fundamental building blocks of our universe, covering atoms, elements, and chemical reactions through a lens of everyday discovery. It strikes a balance between academic concepts and accessible wonder, making it ideal for the elementary years when children are transitioning from simple observations to wanting to understand the why behind physical changes. By framing chemistry as a form of real-world magic, it helps children feel a sense of pride and accomplishment as they master complex vocabulary and see themselves as young scientists. It is a perfect choice for encouraging independent exploration or for a shared family activity that turns your kitchen into a laboratory.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
