These books on a broad range of interesting topics are sure to engage children across curricula and ages. This week, we focus on books in science and social studies. Books such as Animal Ark, Rivers of Sunlight, The Tree, The Secret Project, Soldier Song, and Pathfinders will engage students of many interests and open their minds to new worlds and ideas.

The books in this week’s column provide unique perspectives on topics in science and social studies. We were excited by the lively, vigorous, and imaginative approaches of the books, which evoke wonder and discovery and invite discussion and further exploration of the topics they introduce.

These books feature beautiful nature photography, gorgeous illustrations, examinations of environmental issues, a painted story of the atom bomb, coming-of-age tales, histories of black trailblazers, and inspiring young women from around the world. Check out these amazing books submitted by members of the International Literacy Association and sure to open the minds of children of all grade levels.
