This season, readers can explore the worlds within their bodies from the nervous system to what is on their plates and even how they perceive the world.

These collected titles are a celebration of the beautiful, wild world around us that seek to whet one's curiosity while also bringing joy in what is found.

There is something here for everyone in the family to help them learn more about their insides (and outsides).

Focusing on what it means to experience the natural world, there has been a shift toward experiential learning and citizen science for younger people across the series selected.

As the world continues into its second year of pandemic pandemonium, readers are reminded that balancing physical and mental wellness is critical to a healthy life.

These series take on big picture understanding and the narrower scope of singular existence for children who have a future ahead tied to the ongoing climate crisis.

More than high-interest and cool topics, these science series seek to encourage young learners to explore the wide world of not only learning about science, but also being part of the scientific community through citizen science and action.

A deep connection to the natural world and how it is evolving around us permeates this season’s natural science series. There is a major focus on visual literacy, presenting a variety of media from forecast data generated by weather software to crisp animal photography. 

Technology is all around us. These new series provide the best ways for young readers to interact with and learn from it.
