Jessica Stremer is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate two new children's books - Lights Out about the light pollution movement to help migrating birds, and The Great Barrier Reef about the USS Risky aircraft carrier that was intentionally sunk to become an artificial reef. She explains how lights distract and endanger birds during migration and how organizations like Audubon work together for conservation. Jed is amazed at bird navigation abilities and enjoys learning with his kids. They discuss challenges of writing accessible nonfiction and using pictures to introduce complex STEM topics. Jessica also worked to turn complicated subjects into understandable concepts for young readers. Both agree exposing kids to science through books can expand their worlds and interests.
