My picture book, "A Very Variable Adventure," is getting published this month!

The story centers on X, a letter who grows tired of his work spelling words. He travels to the Mathlands where he finds a world of infinite possibilities.

More details to come! #mtbos #mathsky #edusky #kidlit #STEMlit

ONE MONTH AWAY, FOLKS!!!

This is the perfect time to pre-order! I don't have a pre-order campaign, because my campaign would be, "you get a cool rock!", and really, that's something you should find for yourself. ;)

Available to preorder from your local bookstore! Also: bookshop.org/p/books/i-ro...
Graphic that reads, "Rock wants to know why you haven't pre-ordered their book yet." With an image of a cartoon rock with googly eyes sitting down, looking flummoxed yet with a neutral expression. The background is white. At the bottom of the graphic is a grey section with the book cover and text that reads, "Science KidLit author Katie Slivensky and illustrator of totally adorable children's books, Steph Stilwell, present: I, ROCK! A Geology Tale. Coming June 10th from Beach Lane Books."

My starting fruit was apples, and I named my island after a recent breed of apple; the Sunflare! It's a crossbreed of a honeycrisp and Pink Lady, bred by students at Washington State University. Planted in 2015 at Stemlit Growers Orchard in Quincy, Washington, but was only introduced in 2019! 1/2

I have heard that Stemlit fruit in Wenatchee, WA invented these for their apples. They should at least be made compostable. I spend so much time peeling these off so that my family doesn’t throw them in the compost…

Graphic that reads, "Booklist praises I, ROCK!" “Rock explains with humorous yet informative visuals and snappy, personalized descriptions how it cycles through the three types of rock (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) over time. Whether blasted from a volcano, thrown onto land by a tsunami, or kicked by dinosaurs, the seemingly boring life of a rock is anything but.” "Coming June 10th from Beach Lane Books!" Visuals include a cartoon grey rock with googly eyes smiling with its hands in the air with stars around it. Also the cover of the picture book, I, ROCK: A geology tale. By Katie Slivensky and Steph Stilwell. Cover art is the same googly eyed rock sitting on a cross section of the ground and smiling.

I really should start tagging my posts with #EduSky #KidLit #STEMLit because this book is like, spot on for earth science standards relating to rocks, minerals, plate tectonics, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, Earth's layers, and more. And is adorable and hilarious to boot. Perfect classroom book.
