Cece Loves Science and Adventure, by Shelli R. Johannes, Kimberly Derting, Vashti Harrison

This was cute and has a lot of great elements:
1)A team of girls using friendship and teamwork to solve problems
2)The inclusion of STEM everywhere
3)Cute illustrations
4)A glossary of terms at the end to promoted continued learning

Personally, I felt this story went on a little too long for a read-aloud book, but it would make a great addition to a lesson plan about nature science since it was able to pack so much into one story.

A great book with a completely minority cast. I'm not sure if Cece is Latina or Black but her 2 friends are Black and Asian. I love that this book shows them using STEM skills throughout and frames it like an adventure in the woods, a real situation kids can relate to. The best part is the back of the book that has a STEM PIN Worksheet that shows exactly what they did that counted as Science, Technology, Engineering and Math in order to get their "badge."

I appreciate the intent, but the story is a little too text-heavy for a read aloud and the science felt forced at times.

Calls to mind fond memories of my girl scout days with some fun STEM things kids can do!

Cece and her friends use science to figure out how to return to camp when a storm develops on a camping trip. This book offers great role models for working together and using logic and science to solve problems.
