About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your child is beginning to outpace their school curriculum with hyper-specific questions about the world, or when you need a high-interest tool to engage a reluctant reader. This almanac serves as a vibrant gateway to global citizenship, blending scientific inquiry with awe-inspiring photography. It addresses the emotional need for wonder and the pride that comes from mastering new information. Inside, children will find a diverse range of topics from marine biology and space exploration to modern history and conservation efforts. While the content is purely educational, it fosters a sense of agency by encouraging kids to solve puzzles and think critically about the environment. It is perfectly calibrated for the elementary to middle school transition, providing bite-sized facts that build confidence without overwhelming the reader.
