Mae and Gerty and the Matter with Matter
Elaine Vickers, illustrated by Erica Salcedo
Mae is tired of hearing her parents call her younger sister Gerty a science genius. To Mae, science does not seem like play, messes, or questions. As she thinks about what scientists do, however, Mae decides she can be one too. She joins Gerty in getting curious and experimenting with different kinds of matter. Together, the sisters explore scientific ideas through everyday activity, while their parents’ enthusiasm for Gerty’s early experiments remains part of the family setting.
