About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Vicki Cobb is the author of many award-winning science books for young people. With degrees from Barnard College and Columbia University Teachers College, Vicki enjoyed an early career as a science teacher. She now devotes all her time to writing and speaking to teachers, children, and librarians all over the country. She frequently writes for the Huffington Post and is also the founder and president of iNK Think Tank, an organization dedicated to getting high-quality nonfiction books into classrooms. To find out what recent science experiment Vicki has been cooking up, visit her online at www.vickicobb.com.
Julia Gorton has loved to get wet since her days as a teenage member of the Aquaettes. A local synchronized swim team. She is still passionate about water and is working to get a community pool built.
For a decade she has been delighting children with her inspired illustrations and dazzling designs. Her work can be found in the Science Play book I See Myself by Vicki Cobb, the MathStart book Super Sandcastle Saturday by Stuart J. Murphy, and Ten Rosy Roses, by Eve Merriam. Julia Gorton lives in a sprinklerfilled community in New Jersey with her husband, author-illustrator Daniel Kirk, and their three children, who splish and splash all around the town.
PreSchool-Grade 2-The well-known science writer explains the properties and characteristics of wind in an easy-to-read format. The writing is clear and the explanations are age-appropriate. "Air is made of a gazillion tiny balls floating in space. These balls are so small that they can't be seen. They have to be imagined." The crisp graphic artwork brings the wind to life. A young girl gets pushed by it, has her umbrella turned inside out, watches leaves shake on a tree, and engages in lots of other activities that illustrate the movement of air. The topic lends itself well to experimentation and Cobb offers youngsters several demonstrations-some with objects and some as simple as blowing out one's breath-that can be used successfully at home or in the classroom. This is a simple introduction for those kids who always want to know the "why" behind even the most mundane events.
