"Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity."

- Mae Jemison, physicist and astronaut

We don't always think about it, but every child is a scientist! From the moment they push a spoon off their high chair to see what happens or start asking, "why?" to everything, they start on a long and exciting lifetime of discovery. Their inquisitive minds will always be on the hunt for answers. It is, therefore, important to encourage your kids to be curious about   the world they live in. The most important thing a scientist does, after all, is ask questions. 

To celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science & to help you ignite your child’s scientific curiosity, we’ve compiled a list of 5 of our favourite books that’ll inspire the young budding scientists! 

Let’s find out.
