Baby Loves Quarks!

Learn about the “building blocks” of particle physics and chemistry—quarks, protons, neutrons, atoms, and molecules—using one of baby’s favorite toys as a metaphor.

Accurate enough to satisfy an expert, yet simple enough for toddlers and with a little tongue-in-cheek humor, the Baby Science series introduces big, brainy science to the littlest listeners. Parents and caregivers may learn a thing or two, as well!

With STEM education now encouraged in children as young as six months old, this series is primed to turn story time into an active STEM learning experience, encouraging very young children to observe and explore their environment and building a foundation for future scientific inquiry. Irene Chan’s beautiful, visually stimulating illustrations complement Ruth Spiro’s age-appropriate language to encourage baby’s sense of wonder and understanding of how the world around them works.
