    Join this brother and sister duo in an exploration of sorting and classification, because STEAM is everywhere and for everyone!

    Part of STEAMWORKS, a series of fiction board books for ages 0-3 that relate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to kids’ everyday lives.

    Our narrator and her twin brother, Anton, love to help Auntie Kate with laundry at the laundromat. They start by sorting the laundry into piles of lights and darks. But what about items that are multicolored, like the kids’ hooded unicorn and dinosaur towels? Those get their own machine!

    Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about sorting and classification and fun STEAM activities.

    STEAMWORKS features children of all backgrounds and abilities using scientific and mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems and answer questions that matter to them. Playful stories and extension activities ignite excitement for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) and empower children as thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators.

    STEAMWORKS board books are also available in Spanish bilingual.
    Songju Ma Daemicke is an award-winning Chinese-American children's book author and former software engineer. Her books have won many honors, including Tu Youyou’s Discovery: Finding a Cure for Malaria, which was a finalist for the 2023 SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books, and Cao Chong Weighs an Elephant, which was a Best STEM book and a Mathical Honor Book.

    Sian James is a self-taught children's book illustrator from Hong Kong. Despite her upbringing as a city girl, she loves daydreaming about enchanted forests, ancient ruins, magical creatures, and exciting adventures. When she is not drawing or painting, Sian loves to curl up with a cup of Earl Grey and read a fantasy novel or play a video game. She lives in Cambridge, UK, with her biochemist husband Nathan, their daughter, and two affectionate cats, Miso and Mochi. www.sianjamesillustration.com
