I would suggest reading more childrens books :)
I just remembered how many children's books my daghter loves are kind-of stem-adjacent?
We have a book about a forest-bison that is kinda upset that he doesn't hibrnate during the winter, so he tries to persuade the forest spirits that help other animals to prepare for winters rest to help him as well. When he fails, he decides, he will do that himself, and strts searching for a nest :)
Or a little book about how a poppy-seed grows.
Or a book about a tale of friendship between a doormouse and a vole, where the vole is sad he won't have anybody to play with the whole winter, because the doormouse hibernates.
Or a short book about an islad that has 2 kindoms, each has 3 castles, under every one 4 cities, in every city 5 houses, in every hous 6 room, in every room 7 cabinets, in each cabinet 8 boxes. And then it shows a dot for all of the boxes on a page.
Or a book about a father and his daghter that recieved magic space-suites from an old wizzard, so they go visit each planet in solar system.
Or two siblings that realize that the ants they have at home know pythagoras theorem, so they learn to communicate with them.
Or the kid who discovers his weird neghbour actually managed to communicate with the plants (well, more just their raw emotions?) and then they use this to help the neglected plants in their back-yard?
I might remember more? :)
- a-saleh 8y agoI forgot the favourite, where somebody shits on little-moles head, so he goes from animal to animal to compare their poop to the one still sitting on its head. It is very informative :)
- matt_the_bass 8y agoI presume the German language version is the original. But I could be wrong Vom kleinen Maulwurf, der wissen wollte, wer ihm auf den Kopf gemacht hatte https://youtu.be/FBe1KgrRYmU https://youtu.be/FBe1KgrRYmU
- a-saleh 8y agoYes this is it! :) Never occurred to me to search for a video :P
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoI have the distinct disadvantage of not having any children or even young ones around me. I guess the child audience I had in mind was myself and the stuff I wish I learnt then...
- a-saleh 8y agoIn that case I can only recommend going to a library and skimming few books in the young-reader aisle :-P There definitely are many I found there to be entertaining or insightful just for me,even if I never got around reading it to my daughter :) Writing a book you wish your younger self had stil seems a worthwhile endeavour :)
- matt_the_bass 8y agoPerhaps you could consider writing and adult book that at first glance is disguised as a children’s book. Then you wouldn’t need proxy kids to judge it. You could use your own judgement.
