An Afternoon with Author Jessica Fries-Gaither

Questions are a scientist’s best tool, and Wild Wonderings encourages kids in grades 3–5 to come up with queries to make sense of the world’s mysteries. With fun, rhyming text and playful illustrations, the book shines a light on world-changing scientific discoveries that happened because somebody asked the right questions. It also includes mini-bios of the nine featured scientists as well as a four-step process to help kids frame their own questions.
