Miki Marble: A Spacey Tale of Science and Self-Discovery
By John A. Honeycutt, PhD
Miki Marble has marbles, friends, stamps, and string-but one thing Miki really wants is a new name. When the suggestions fall flat ("Miki Kite?" "Miki Stamp?"), Miki takes matters into marble-sized hands and launches a journey across the solar system to find an identity that truly fits.
Along the way, Miki measures planetary distances with kite string, builds a scale model of the solar system, and learns just how big-and how cool-space can be. By the time Miki returns, a transformation has taken place: Miki Marble is now Piki Planet, and no one ever forgets the name again.
Whimsical, clever, and packed with science facts, Miki Marble is a perfect blend of imagination and STEM learning. Featuring full-color illustrations, planet descriptions, and a child-friendly explanation of our solar system, this book is ideal for kids ages 6-9, young astronomers, and curious readers everywhere.
