If you’ve ever watched your child stare at the night sky with wonder, asking questions like “What are stars made of?” or “Why did God make the universe so big?”—then God’s Little Astronomer by Tina Cho is the perfect picture book for your family.

Blending science and faith in a gentle, relatable way, this story helps children see that curiosity, learning, and belief in God can all grow together. With strong ties to both STEM education and social-emotional learning (SEL), it’s a story that sparks questions while comforting young hearts.

​Sometimes, a book comes along that is so delightful, it sneaks some serious learning in while making you laugh out loud. Except Antarctica by Todd Sturgell is exactly that kind of picture book. With a lovable cast of characters, a globe-trotting adventure, and a narrator who is hilariously ignored, this book is a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike. It's the kind of read-aloud that has preschoolers giggling and grownups chuckling at the same time.

As both a children’s author and someone who’s passionate about creating playful, purposeful stories, I wanted to take a moment to spotlight one of my own books, The Wonder of Under. This story was such a joy to write, and it held Amazon's #1 New Release spot for three weeks! But beyond the fun and whimsy, The Wonder of Under was written with intention—blending imaginative play with early STEM discovery and gentle SEL growth.
