Science Comics: Trees: Kings of the Forest by Andy Hirsch

These books are as good as they possibly can be! They clearly hire talented story tellers and artists every time. They are as engaging and plot driven as possible, Trees is all about an acorn who doesn't want to sit around waiting to become a tree, we're introduced to the subject matter of rockets by a bird posing as the grandchild ab bird that an ancient Greek philosopher launched into the air, The Brain's main character is a hijabi girl who is captured by a brain floating in a jar wanting to tell her all about its power, and Solar System is about a boy imagining an adorable crew of Earth animal space explorers. It's just, even though these comics are told in the best possible way, you cannot get around the fact that they are nonfiction books trying to data dump STEM onto its reader. I think these would be great additions to a library's nonfiction collection, and would be wonderful options for reluctant readers who are researching STEM subjects. They're just not going to be pleasure reads for most of us.
