Eleven Year Old Author Complements STEM Curriculum with Release of New Book for Children

June 27, 2015 - PRLog -- STEM is an acronym referring to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The term is typically used when addressing education curriculum choices in schools to improve competitiveness in science and technology development. Eleven year old Lexi Schwartzberg is the author and creator of a new book, Lily Droplet's Amazing Adventure: The Water Cycle (ISBN: 978-0-99629-331-0). Schwartzberg creatively addressed STEM curriculum in her newly published book. The unique integration of STEM ideas and appealing character of Lily as a water drop is perfect for young children.

Leaders in business, government, and academia assert that education in the STEM subjects is vital not only to sustaining the innovation capacity of the United States but also as a foundation for successful employment, including but not limited to work in the STEM fields.

After receiving an assignment in school to write about the water cycle from the point of view of a water droplet, Lily’s Adventure began. The talented young author quickly turned the one paragraph assignment into a full-length story, incorporating the science and lessons through dynamic and charming characters.  The illustrations are equally delightful. Lexi worked with her Aunt Danielle, an amazing and talented artist to illustrate the book. The two worked together to capture the fun and interesting path of Lily Droplet’s Amazing Adventure.

During the course of the book, Lily experiences all the wonders of the water cycle. Lily Droplet’s Amazing Adventure teaches the concepts of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation; joining her along the journey are many friends and relatives, each with a unique personality expressed throughout the book.

Lexi Schwartzberg is building a strong following of young readers and educators worldwide, by sharing her creative talent and curiosity.  Elements of the Common Core are addressed via informational text, making Lily’s Adventure a perfect complement to early STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) curriculum.
