It's a wonderful addition that brings diversity to children's literature, inspiring the next generation to appreciate and protect our natural world." - Grant Ballard , Ph.D., Chief Science Officer, Point Blue "In Tiny Tern Takes Flight, Donna B. McKinney invites readers into Tiny Tern and their flock’s enchanting migration journey. With Fiona Osbaldstone’s vibrant illustrations, this delightful tale sparks imagination and fosters a love for nature in young readers.” – S. Cargill , @shontalthebirder “The best children’s books should be familiar enough to be relatable – and mysterious enough to be intriguing. ‘Tiny Tern Takes Flight’ achieves both of these by telling the story of the Artic Tern - one of the world’s most itinerate travelers – who ventures from pole to pole annually in search of sun and food. Avian migration is truly one of the world’s most intriguing natural phenomena - this story can only help engage future naturalists and ornithologists.” – Dick Evans , San Francisco-based Documentary Photographer, Birder and author About the Author About the Illustrator Donna B. McKinney lived most of her life in the Washington, D.C. area, where she worked at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, writing about science. Now she has another great job—writing books for kids, including her previous release titled Lights On. Donna currently lives in North Carolina with two full-of-mischief dogs. When she’s not writing, she enjoys hiking, fishing, and playing a game called pickleball (kind of like a mix of tennis and ping pong). Born and bred in Kent, England, Fiona Osbaldstone loved painting as a kid and used to paint her own versions of Disney characters. She always wanted to do something with art and went to the Kent Institute of Art & Design. She was inspired by the works of David Shepherd and Norman Rockwell for their detail and diversely different styles. Her work includes natural history, botanicals, people, and scenes. Outside of the artistic field, although not too far removed, she loves pottery and makes and sells her own pieces. She enjoys photography as well as cycling but is “not too good at that and will invariably end up in a ditch.”

To Catch a Chill “I can’t believe my mother made me wear this heavy coat,” Paige complained as she walked to school with friends one morning. “My mother is the same way,” Tyra said, splashing through a puddle in her heavy waterproof boots. “Hey, wait a minute,” Lin said, picking up the hat that had blown off her head. “Were your mothers listening to that new radio station that plays those old songs all the parents like?” “Yes!” Paige said. “I can’t believe the music they play!” “Some of those songs must be 20 years old!” Tyra added. “It was on at our house, too,” Lin said. “I heard the announcer say that it would feel like 25 degrees Fahrenheit this morning, and that is when my mom handed me these gloves.” “So what?” Paige asked. “I see what Lin means,” Tyra said, jumping from puddle to puddle. “At 25 degrees Fahrenheit, this water would be frozen. Water freezes at 32 degrees and below.” “I think our parents should start listening to a different radio station,” Lin said. “I don’t think that would help,” Paige said. “Why wouldn’t it? The people at that station clearly don’t know anything more about weather than they know about music,” Tyra said. REVEAL ANSWER

Ship Shape “Ahoy, matey!” Liam yelled, running into his older brother Theo’s bedroom. “Go back to bed,” Theo growled. “It’s six o’clock in the morning! I need my sleep, you know.” “But Theo, there’s part of a shipwreck out in the ocean! It looks like it’s been there for a hundred years!” “Then it will still be there when I get up,” Theo grumbled and rolled over. It was their family’s first morning of vacation after arriving late the night before at a beach they had never been to before. Liam was an early riser and had walked down to the beach just after dawn. Since Theo didn’t want to get up and no one else was awake, Liam went to his room to read. When Theo finally woke up around noon and went to the beach where his parents had already set up chairs and blankets, he saw sunburned people under umbrellas and sand crabs scurrying around, but nothing in the ocean except waves. “Have you seen a shipwreck out there?” Theo asked his parents. “No, but we’ve only been here for an hour,” their father said to Theo. “We slept in a little. Then the three of us went straight to the grocery store while you slept.” “After we put away the groceries we came here,” their mother added. “Liam told us about a shipwreck, but we haven’t seen it yet.” “The shipwreck is out there, and I’ll prove it,” Liam said. “How?” Theo asked.

Síguele la corriente —Les va a encantar este lugar —dijo el abuelo de Jesse—. Yo voy a cada rato. Jesse y su amigo Thomas estaban de visita en casa del abuelo de Jesse, a quien le encantaba navegar y recientemente había comprado una lancha nueva. Desde la casa del abuelo de Jesse, navegarían río abajo hasta un parque con un muelle de pesca y un restaurante. —¿Cuán lejos es? —preguntó Thomas al abordar la lancha. —Veinte millas náuticas —respondió el abuelo—. Una milla náutica es aproximadamente 1/6 más larga que una milla, o casi 2 kilómetros. Durante el viaje de ida, el cual tomó 48 minutos, el velocímetro de la lancha indicaba que el motor iba a 20 nudos—que, de acuerdo al abuelo de Jesse, significaba veinte millas náuticas por hora. Pasaron muy bien el día, pese a que no pescaron ni un pez. Durante el viaje de regreso, que tardó 1 hora y 20 minutos, el velocímetro indicaba la misma velocidad. Thomas y Jesse se bajaron en el muelle mientras que el abuelo de Jesse ataba la lancha. —Bueno, aprendimos algo hoy —le dijo Thomas a Jesse. —¿Te refieres a que no somos buenos pescadores? —le preguntó Jesse. —No, a eso no. Si la distancia al parque era de 20 millas náuticas y la lancha navegaba a 20 nudos, el viaje debió haber tardado una hora, pero no fue así, en ninguna de las dos direcciones. O el velocímetro indicó mal la velocidad, o tu abuelo está equivocado sobre la distancia —contestó Thomas—. Pero, ¿cuál? REVELAR RESPUESTA

Junio Seleccionado de: One Minute Mysteries: Short Mysteries You Solve With Math! • Misterios de un minuto: ¡Misterios Cortos que Resuelves con Matemáticas! Un cuento largo Día de los desafíos era uno de los más esperados en la semana del campamento. A los campistas se les enviaba a hacer toda clase de tareas extrañas, como, por ejemplo, encontrar pelo de animales, ciertos tipos de hojas, nueces, y otros pedacitos de naturaleza. Dominic y Vincent estaban convencidos de que se les había encargado la tarea más difícil de todas: calcular la altura exacta del árbol solitario en el centro del campamento. Por poco sueltan carcajadas cuando les entregaron solo dos herramientas para hacerlo: una regla de una yarda de longitud y una gran bola de hilo. —Es imposible —dijo Dominic, ojeando hasta la punta del árbol con los ojos entrecerrados. Era un día soleado. —No puede ser imposible —dijo Vincent—. El consejero dijo que otros chicos lo han hecho con las mismas cosas que nos dieron a nosotros. Pensaron por un rato. —Bueno, tengo una idea —dijo Dominic—. Pero no será fácil. Uno de nosotros puede sostener la bola de hilo mientras que el otro se amarra un extremo del hilo al cinturón y trepa el árbol. Podríamos llegar lo suficientemente cerca a la punta como para estimar cuánto falta, y después podríamos agregar ese estimado a la longitud del hilo desde el punto al que alcanzamos hasta el suelo. —No creo que nos gustará el resultado de eso —dijo Vincent. —¿Por qué? —preguntó Dominic.
