Talking to Worms

Coming Febuary 9, 2027

Join Jane and Niko in an exploration of experimental design and animal behavior, because STEAM is everywhere and for everyone!

Part of STEAMWORKS, a series of fiction picture books for ages 4–7 that relate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to kids’ everyday lives.

When Jane and Niko gather worms to populate their outdoor worm house, they design a series of experiments to ensure their worm habitat is exactly what the worms want: Dirt or no dirt? Light or no light? Art or no art? Through observation and note-taking, the siblings “talk” to their worms and learn how to make the optimal habitat.

Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about experimental design and animal behavior and fun STEAM activities.
