If you’ve ever thought about becoming a scientist or about ways to take action to save the planet, you’ve come to the right place! On What’s Up?, Holiday House Books and KidLit TV are teaming up to bring you BOOKS FOR A BETTER EARTH™! It’s a collection of non-fiction picture books, middle-grade books, and a graphic novel that are full of information, resources and activities to inspire kids to be informed, active participants in caring for the Earth.
Meet Dana Alison Levy, author of BREAKING THE MOLD: CHANGING THE FACE OF CLIMATE SCIENCE, a book which introduces 16, diverse scientists battling climate change. BREAKING THE MOLD shares their stories, how they got into their fields, what they wish they knew when they were students to help make getting into science easier, and offers citizen science projects you can do to make a difference in your community.
Then join Roxie Munro for a sneak peek at her new picture book, A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DESERT. Most people think deserts are hot, dry places devoid of life, but Roxie knows better! She’s visited five out of the six deserts in this book, and can’t wait to share information about the thousands of interconnected insect, animal, and plant species that make deserts their home! Learn about way to preserve deserts and prevent their inhabitants from extinction — all on What’s Up?!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Sixteen scientists. Protecting our planet. Making science more equitable.
Scientists who collect microbes from surfers' skin, who use radar sensors to gather data miles away, who combat inequality by pushing for cleaner air policies. Each with their own story, all working to make life better for future generations.
Celebrated author Dana Alison Levy profiles 16 people, all studying different elements of the earth’s landscape, animals, and climate, who defy stereotypes of who can be a scientist. From analytical chemists to volcanologists, from global experts to recent graduates, these scientists share what they were like as young people, how they got where they are now, and what they—and the rest of us—can do to help the planet.
ABOUT THE BOOK

This meticulously illustrated picture book takes readers on a cross-continental tour in 24 hours, visiting 6 different deserts at different hours of the day, and returning to each desert as night falls. Meet the critters that call these habitats home, from the turkey vultures that fly under the hot daytime sun to the gila monster that crawls across the cool nighttime sand.While exploring the desert, young readers can play hide and seek with all kinds of desert creatures! Every nook and cranny is filled with critters big and small for readers to identify using the matching key at the bottom of the page. Budding naturalists can dive into the extensive material in the back of the book, including an author’s note with age-appropriate resources on how to get involved, a glossary with science vocabulary, and a bibliography.
