It's everywhere. In our homes, schools, offices, on the train, in our cars-even inside our bodies!
Electricity: Circuits, Static, and Electromagnets with Hands-On Science Activities for Kids explores the science of electricity and the technology we've developed to harness the energy to power our lives. By diving into the topics of static electricity, currents, circuits, electromagnetism, motors, and ways we might produce and use electricity in the future, kids ages 8 to 12 gain a full view of how electricity works and why it's so important to human society.
And while it's tempting to think electricity was invented by humans, it existed since before the earth was even formed! In this book, we'll examine the electricity found in nature and even inside our own bodies.
Hands-on STEM activities, entertaining illustrations, essential questions, text-to-world connections, fascinating sidebars, and links to online resources and videos get kids hooked on the fascinating subject they all use in their daily lives-electricity! Additional materials include a glossary, a list of media for further learning, a selected bibliography, and index. Aligns with Common Core state standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
All books are leveled for Guided Reading level and Lexile.
All titles are available in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats.
The information contained in First Book of Electricity is timeless and continues the tradition of Living Library Press in reprinting classic elementary science books from the golden age of children's literature. The book was written by children's authors, Sam and Beryl Epstein and illustrated by Robin King. The purpose of the book is to give a basic understanding of electricity, what it is, where it comes from, and how it is generated. It then goes on to discuss how it is brought into homes from generating plants and what problems one may encounter once it comes into the home and how ro solve the difficulties of blown fuses and circuits. Finally the book concludes with a series of basic experiments that help th student understand first hand the principles of electricity.

Tinker Toddlers is a series designed to introduce first nonfiction emerging STEM concepts to babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Dion is not an ordinary machine. He has a superpower - he can learn. And Aria knows exactly what to teach him. Follow along as she teaches Dion all about cats and dogs.
From the award-winning Tinker Toddlers series, Supervised Machine Learning is a great way to explore how machines learn. With super-simple text, this computer science picture book introduces the littlest learners to the very basics of artificial intelligence to facilitate the absorption of complex details later in life.
The colorful, beautiful, and visually stimulating illustrations encourage the child's sense of wonder, adventure, and curiosity (and might stimulate your senses too)
Told with 3 levels of learning:
Level 1: Black text for baby basics
Level 2: Blue text to engage active learning
Level 3: Purple text for early learning, those ready to read, and beyond
Great addition to homeschool curriculum for preschoolers, kindergarten, or to any classroom library.

What readers have to say about the series:
Big concepts in a well-explained book - I love the complexity and also the simplicity of this book. It is an excellent way to introduce my kids to advanced science topics in an age-appropriate manner. The drawings are so cute. I am thrilled with this purchase. - ACS
Must read - These books make great gifts and great discoveries in the classroom. - Raman Bhasin
Beautiful treatment of a complex topic - This book was a delightful surprise. As someone who teaches young kids about computer science, I expected this to be stilted and/or boring but it was lovely and engaging It's a great intro to an important topic. - Stephanie Hosford
New topic written in easy fun manner - Incredible way for parents to share with their child a relevant and upcoming topic of machine learning in a fun way. - John Ngui
Simply easy for the child to grasp scientific concepts A fun way to learn - I believe that the collection is a great way to introduce these topics to our children, these topics will help them better understand the world of science and technology that they are growing up in - Angela K.
An Extremely Engaging Book for Curious Minds - My partner and I absolutely loved the artwork and found the content to be remarkably better when compared to books of a similar vein that are currently available. We look forward to adding more of Dr. Dhoot's books to our already growing collection. - Sakshi
Useful beyond its intended scope - It would actually (and unfortunately) be quite helpful to use these pages in a PowerPoint to explain neural networks to adults. - MP

My First Book of Electromagnetism uses fascinating bite-size facts, clear and simple explanations and attractive and absorbing illustrations to illuminate the mysteries of electricity and magnetism.
Nowadays, electricity and magnetism are all around us and we use them for nearly everything. In fact, it's hard to find anything that works without them. But what actually is electricity? What has it got to do with magnets? What is magnetism? And the most fascinating thing of all, what has all this got to do with light? All these questions are answered in this introduction to the fabulous world of electromagnetism.
My First Book of Electromagnetism tells the story of humankind's growing understanding of the forces around us, from Thales of Miletus's first experiments with magnetic attraction in 600 BCE to Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell unifying the fields of magnetism and electricity to develop the theory of electromagnetism. At various stages in this fascinating journey the reader can find out how to make their own experiments, including making their own electroscope to test for electric charge and how to construct a working motor from safety pins, wire, sticky tape, a magnet and a battery.
Poor Gust wants to help! But what can he do? The lone wind turbine at a busy port, he watches over everything in the water and on land. The people and machines are always on the move, but not Gust. All day long, the workers swirl around him like the wind while he is stuck standing still. He can't do what everyone else does. Is there a job for Gust? Everything changes one night when Gust asks his friend, the Port Director, for help. His answer surprises Gust - and it might surprise you!
Join Gust in his journey to discover how a little wind turbine can have a BIG impact. At a time when climate conversations happen at the dinner table, this is the true story of how one small wind turbine made the Port of Milwaukee fully energy independent and produced enough electricity to share with the surrounding city!
Gust has something for everyone. Fans of big construction vehicles will enjoy the many characters found working at a port. Curious young environmentalists will learn how wind power can be a renewable energy source. And adult readers will love how Gust's tale reminds children that, by working together and contributing their own unique gifts, they can make a difference too. Gust is a story of how everyone - no matter how big or small - can help to better their community and their world.
