My talk about evolution for kids is scheduled for Saturday. It's the last talk at Broadview Library. Here are the books I'll bring as cases in point, teaching both common descent ("evolution") and Darwin's theory of natural selection. Come meet Susan Gerbic & say Hi to me.

Ten years ago, Karen & I raised money on Kickstarter to self-publish Grandmother Fish. The experience of running a Kickstarter was good in surprising ways.

Ten years ago, Karen Lewis teamed up with me to do Grandmother Fish. She’s a devoted children’s science illustrator, and she helped me make the book a lot better. Thanks, Karen!

Planets are lining up tomorrow morning, and you can use the pieces from Planet Voyagers to help kids understand why the planets are always in line, never forming a triangle or rectangle like stars often do.

Ten years ago, I decided to make Grandmother Fish a physical book and to raise money for it on Kickstarter. In the fall of 2013, I figured I would self-fund a digital version of the book, and that way I didn’t have to pay for printing. I even drew a couple animated GIFs as a proof of concept. What changed my mind in 2014 was the lights that appeared in parents’ eyes when would I told about Grandmother Fish. I’d say, “Evolution for preschoolers,” and they’d react with surprise and delight. They recognized it as a good idea that they’d never heard of before, and that gave me the confidence to go on Kickstarter raise money for printing. And that’s how Grandmother Fish got where it is today.

Jupiter is high in the evening sky, perfect for pointing it out to kids. You can use pieces from Planet Voyagers so show kids why Jupiter appears where it does in the sky. http://www.grandmotherfish.com/resource/jupiter-in-the-evening/
