The incredible illustrated true story of the first balloon flight to the stratosphere, for children ages 4–8. Soar to the Stratosphere: Auguste Piccard’s Incredible Balloon Flight to Dizzying Heights presents an endearing, exciting, and true story of innovation and exploration that will delight budding scientists and fans of adventure. In this bouncy, adventure-packed, rhyming picture book, the experts at Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum tell the story of Auguste Piccard, the first human to fly to the stratosphere. Years before travel in space, Piccard engineered a gondola attached to a giant balloon in his quest to measure cosmic rays from outer space. Vibrant and informative text, illustrations, photographs, and nonfiction back matter from the NASM collection, plus craft-time instructions that guide readers to create their own balloon models make this nonfiction picture book perfect for at-home and classroom read-alouds. Written by Air and Space Museum curator Thomas Paone and illustrated by educator and children’s book artist Diane Kidd, this fun and informative book hits the trifecta of Biography STEAM Fun.

People, children especially, have been baffled, bewildered, and even outraged by the fact that Pluto is no longer called a planet. Through whimsical artwork and an entertaining dialogue format, Pluto’s Secret explains the true story of this distant world. Providing a history of the small, icy world from its discovery and naming to its recent reclassification, this book presents a fascinating look at how scientists organize and classify our solar system as they gain new insights into how it works and what types of things exist within it. The book includes a glossary and bibliography. Praise for Pluto's Secret "Pairing a lighthearted narrative in a hand-lettered–style typeface with informally drawn cartoon illustrations, this lively tale of astronomical revelations begins with the search for Planet X.” —Kirkus Reviews "This picture book offers a fresh, positive perspective on Pluto, showing that its change of status is not a demotion but a correction." —Booklist "Light-hearted imagining of a gregarious Pluto.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Fun reading… The book provides a factual history of our faraway 'dwarf,' and on its companion icy worlds, and on the discovery of Kuiper-like bands around other stars." —School Library Journal Award New York Public Library’s annual Children’s Books list: 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing 2013
