Review Quotes

"As a STEM Specials Teacher, I am always looking for new resources to explain complex STEAM vocabulary in a simple way. Natoshia takes her collection of experiences: her time as an engineer, middle school teacher, and college professor, and assimilates them together into one streamlined book. It's vibrant, diverse, and filled with easy-to-understand illustrations. To all of my fellow STEM teachers searching for the one book to make it all easy... Your search is over!" --Mona Brawley, STEM Specials Teacher

"The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a need for 17,830 additional engineers each year for the next 10 years. Dr. Toshia's book represents a powerful opportunity for children to learn essential concepts and vocabulary at a young age. Katie Turner's illustrations provide visual images of engineering for all! ABC Engineering Book is a must-have for parents and early childhood educators." --Karen Young, CEO, Woz ED

"This book is a sensation for young readers! It will absolutely inspire the techie within to place them squarely and confidently on the STEM path. This is definitely a fun, engaging, must-read for every family. I highly recommend this book to ignite that STEM spark in young people!" --Dr. Valerie Bennett, Founder and CEO of STEM Compass, Inc.

"This delightful read for the youngest scientists will provoke children's thinking about some unusual (a kelvin), and some everyday (a seesaw) objects. Dr. Anderson's creative approach demonstrates her belief in children's enormous potential because she 'talks up' to children, not down. This book inspires children to wonder, to explore, and to learn." --Linda J. Grant, PhD, Lecturer, Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education
