Mariela Measures the Moon

By Rebecca Dejesus

Mariela has a big question-and it's shining right above her head. How do you measure the moon?

With her curious mind, brave ideas, and a little help from science, Mariela sets out to solve what feels like an impossible problem. She climbs, measures, builds, and experiments, discovering along the way that mistakes aren't failures-they're part of learning. From angles and shadows to models and measurements, Mariela learns how scientists ask questions, test ideas, and keep going even when things don't work the first time.

Mariela Measures the Moon (with science ) is a joyful, empowering story that blends imagination with real scientific thinking. Perfect for young readers, this book celebrates curiosity, perseverance, and representation-showing kids that science is for them, and that big dreams often start with one simple question.

Because sometimes, reaching for the moon is exactly how discoveries begin.
