"Nina's excitement about learning is undeniably contagious." -Kirkus Review, 2023
Does your heart leap at the thought of a funny, colorful picture book about homeschooling? A children's story with characters who celebrate that learning can take place anytime... and everywhere?
Meet Nina Batina, STEM detective, and brother Wild.
Every day, they wonder "no bus today... so what instead?"
On Monday, Nina & Wild jump from bed in order to find new ways to learn kinetically, getting their bodies moving and their muck boots mucky. They homeschool, yes, but they also pool school, and zoo school, and park school, and friend school. They even "do school" by bouncing light beams off tonsils while brushing their teeth!
As your family reads Homeschool PJ Time: A Bedtime STEM Book, your child will learn to use STEM experimentation to mangle marshmallows, risk rollercoasters, isolate icicles, and so much more. The book provides a "sticky-based" weekly planner to help families schedule 5-minute science experiments (on Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, for one) for the daytime hours. But that's not all. The book highlights interactive "sleep-training modules" to encourage sleep readiness. So, as your child is tucked in with Nina & Wild, you will be reinforcing the STEM concepts lived that day. The book's lilting rhythm and well-paced meter can help even the most excited child go to sleep.
So, grab your littles, some comfy pjs, a cup of decaf (who are we kidding? you need the good stuff) and start creating precious tuck-in traditions to remember a lifetime. Who knows? You might just end up volunteering to be a STEM detective yourself.
PJ Time is Learning Time.
Includes 4-page interactive STEM planner.
