Happy New Year, Curious Minds!

January is the perfect time to curl up with a good book and spark new ideas. Reading aloud to children not only brings joy but also ignites imagination, fosters curiosity, and inspires lifelong learning.

At Curious Minds Explorers, our books feature Ambuya and her grandchildren Colin, Nouria, Nashe, Itai, Zora, and Lily as they set out on adventures through space, oceans, sports science, and more. Each story blends real science with exciting adventures, demonstrating to children that learning is integral to everyday life.

Ambuya writes these stories to help children see themselves in books, ask big questions, and believe that science is for them. With her background in science education, she transforms complex ideas into engaging, accessible stories for young readers.

This January, join us in reading:

• Zora and Lily’s Moon Adventure

• The Ice Cream That Wouldn’t Stay Frozen

• Nashe and The Secret of the Twinkling Stars

• Itai the Little Scientist

• The Science Scoop: Busting Myths About Science

Let’s make this month a celebration of stories, science, and togetherness. Pick a book, find a cozy spot, and share an adventure with a young explorer in your life.

Read. Imagine. Explore.
