Having decided it was that time of year \u2013 that is, book list time of year \u2013 I put my mind to thinking about the Your Kid’s Next Read community<\/a> and the books they were requesting for their kids.<\/p>\n

Science books, I decided. STEM books for kids of all ages.<\/p>\n

And then, because it is that time of year \u2013 that is, the busy time of year \u2013 I put my mind to think about the BEST person to create such a book list \u2013 a list of books for kids who love science, and for those kids who might not know just how awesome science can be.<\/p>\n

I immediately thought of Cristy Burne<\/a>, author, science writer, science educator and fizzing ball of energy and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

I met Cristy a few years ago when we were both on the program for a literary festival and, well, she managed to convince me<\/em> that science could be fun and cool, so clearly she has magical powers.<\/p>\n

Most recently, I interviewed Cristy for the So You Want To Be A Writer podcast about the launch of her new series, Wednesday Weeks, which blends science and magic into a highly entertaining middle-grade adventure (listen here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So I could think of no-one better to bring us a brilliant book list if you’re looking for STEM books \u2013 fiction and non-fiction \u2013 for a young reader. (Click the title of the book to discover more information or to purchase at Booktopia*)<\/p>\n

Take it away Cristy!<\/p>\n

21 STEM books for kids of all ages<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I love science! Curiosity and creativity and thinking outside the box. Inventing new ideas. Stretching into the unknown.<\/p>\n

Science books are having a bit of a moment right now, and if you have a kid who loves facts, or a kid who loves to wonder, or a kid who\u2019s always asking questions, there\u2019s a science-fuelled book for you.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a science writer and communicator for 20 years (!!!)(already!?) and there\u2019s nothing I love more than sparking and feeding young people\u2019s passion for asking questions and discovering their world.<\/p>\n

Whether I\u2019m creating fact books (like Zeroes and Ones<\/a>), or science-fantasy adventures (like the Wednesday Weeks<\/a> series), or narrative non-fiction (like the Aussie STEM Stars<\/a> series), I\u2019m sharing my love of all things STEM. Science, technology, engineering and maths all need creativity, imagination, innovation and a strong sense of adventure.<\/p>\n

Which is why STEM-based books are awesome!<\/p>\n

Below is a short list of some great STEM-based books\u2026<\/p>\n

If your young readers are curious, if they love discovery and fun, if they feel like the world is a wide and incredible place, or if you want to inspire them to think about science and STEM in a different way \u2026 there\u2019ll hopefully be something on this list of books for you:<\/p>\n
