As part of a 5-book series, Air is the first element we explore!
Nature can be complex, so when we explain it by categorizing its characteristics (Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Ether) we can inspire our little ones to explore more with a better understanding. Join us as we go on an adventure learning about the Five Elements Theory.
Where can we find it in our environment? How does it relate to the human body and the human experience? How can we interact with it in a way that is both safe and fun?
After coming across this book my “teacher brain 🧠” immediately filled with great classroom ideas. I read this with my second graders and used this opportunity to expand on this book and go more in depth about air and it’s weird characteristics eg. Storms, pollution, it’s roll in our bodies and we even got into it’s effects on prehistoric life when oxygen levels were much higher. Long story short it was an excellent opener for my lesson and the kids really enjoyed it. The concept is simple, it introduces air to the reader and features some interesting ways in which the reader might recognize air around them. From wind brushing through your hair to singing to tornadoes 🌪 air is everywhere we go but something we often take for granted. I love that it explains how we can help to keep our air fresh and explains how Mother Nature is all connected. The illustrations are certainly worth mentioning as well. I absolutely love this artwork, it really compliments the book perfectly. Totally recommend this book and keep your eyes peeled for more books in this series!
This is a simple, factual, delightful children's book that explores the many facets of air in terms even young children can understand. The illustrations are beautiful and the language flows pleasantly. Parents and teacher would benefit from having this book in their collection.
I love this simple way of introducing fun facts about the elements to kids. This book is bound to create lots of great conversations. I’m looking forward to the set.
The illustrations were very well done, exquisite artwork. Very atmospheric, fun, quick read. Children will definitely find the very insightful and inspirational
