A young girl starts asking question about the world around her, and her teacher helps her find her answers via the world of physics. This is really how a kid thinks, and I liked it a lot :)

Interesting book about a young girl trying to find her way because she's not sure what she is like her other family members. What she does know is that she is full of questions. So she creates a book by asking and answering those questions which had a lot to do with Physics.
Its great to see girls doing science too.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the ARC.

What a wonderful surprise this book is!! Come September this is be a new addition to my classroom and our home library for my curious daughter!!

This book would be great for sparking wonders of my students and I was already imagining the many ways in which it could be used. I fell more in love with this book when I discovered the final pages explaining the answers to the wonders!! Great book!! Can’t wait to read again and again!

An empowering and optimistic picture book, but it was not very memorable. I did not particularly like the art style.

A fun and harmless physics picture book for beginning readers. It explains the physics principles in a very simple format. It covers principles such as gravity, light, buoyancy, and speed of sound waves. Recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to preview this book!

I really love this book and will be buying it for my kiddos shelves! It can be hard to constantly answer kids questions so I love that this book encourages kids to keep asking questions and to explore for possible answers! The end has a nice write up with answers to the little girl’s questions. Awesome, simple read with great illustrations!

As a retired preschool teacher, mother of seven and grandmother of two, I have read many children's books. This one stands out for many reasons. It is simple and the illustrations are wonderful - but it answers big questions. If water is clear, why is snow white? The little girl asks many questions, and then finds there are answers to all of her questions - physics! Not only that, but there is a 2 page spread for each of her questions, showing the physics of the answer in a way a child can understand. So great! Not only a storybook, but a science book as well.

Highly recommend this book!

A unique combination of picture book and basic-concept walkthrough that presents simple physics ideas in a fun way for young readers. The energetic illustrations of the first part make me think of Quentin Blake and William Steig, two fantastic classic illustrators of children's books. You likely know the illustrations of at least one of them, if you grew up reading Roald Dahl books. I particularly appreciate that the child's curiosity and question-asking is rewarded and encouraged by the teacher and parents.
The explanations in the second part are clearly laid out. There's even more detail than a younger child (a true picture-book age child) might want on a first pass, which just means this can end up being a book that grows with the child, i.e. they come back and learn a bit more as they get older and have a longer attention span.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this eARC for unbiased review. This review will be cross-posted to my social media accounts closer to the book release date.

I love the diversity this book showed right from the beginning. Drawings are soft and clear. Great questions that I think align with young audience questions. The end of the book where questions get answers are definitely, in my opinion, a bit much for a young reader who is just getting started with reading - but overall great easy explanations. I loved the first half of the book, the second half (explanations) felt textbook like. Wish made that maybe had more pictures or colors.

It's so important to be able to listen to questions and discern what's the idea behind them. The fact that the teacher connected seemingly random questions to physics and helped this kid find a passion is so neat. I loved the illustrations!

A great intro to physics for little people. Kids who are too little for the big ideas can still relate to the protagonist feeling different. The beginning is a nice picture book style story. The rest is edible physics principles that are understandable and not overwhelming.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

What a beautiful, delightful STEAM book! The pictures are beautiful and the questions are simple, and I LOVE how the book then actually answers the questions in a way that kids can understand! My kiddos were already wondering about the answers to the main character's questions, so it was really fun that we had the answers right there and got to talk about it together. This book is perfect for children who love to ask questions and learn! I received a free copy of this book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

This is a very engaging picture book for littles but also for elementary kids who are ready for bigger ideas around physics and the questions they have in life. That sounds broad, but all the “why” questions that kids have can sometimes be moved towards a conversation about physics and this book is a great tool to start the brain working that way. My 3rd grader is into robotics and I think he’d be interested in holding this book in his hands and reading through the physics journal. He loves explanations and reason. Will purchase a copy for my little thinker!

This picture book has cute illustrations and is very unique, as a little girl asks imaginative and sometimes silly questions about her world, and then learns that physics can provide answers to her questions. The story ends with her discovering this new interest, and is followed by pages that answer each of her questions with short descriptions and diagrams. This book is a great way to encourage creativity and spark an interest in STEM.

Thank you to Net Galley for this e-copy of The Spark in Me by Miguel Tanco in exchange for a honest review. This book is the perfect book on Physics for the early elementary student(Grades1-3) . The little girl has many questions in the book such as why is space dark even though there are so many stars and can a child sail in a paper boat? The answers at the back of the book answer each of her questions. Perfect for the young scientist.

So so so adorable. A great book about feeding into your interests. As well as girls in STEM.
The illustrations were so beautiful as well

There aren't enough picture books for young kids to help them develop their interest in physics. This adorable picture book shows how some of the normal questions inquisitive kids have can be answered with physics.
Kids ask a lot of questions, and this book shows how kids can learn to answer their own questions. I highly recommend this for all young readers and listeners.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

What a cute book! The illustrations are beautiful and the concept behind it is great. Using the "notebook" to list the questions as well as the answers was a great idea. I can see kids really enjoying learning physics in this way!

The Spark in Me is a story about a little girl who loves to wonder and ask questions about the world around her. When her teacher introduces her to the idea of physics, she gets to work to find the answers to her questions and then answers them in the back of the book. This could be a great book to introduce the idea of physics to younger students, and to encourage any age to ask questions and be curious.
This book is beautifully illustrated in a way that highlights the main character and gives life to the main characters big questions.

Great illustrated physics book. Makes understanding basic concepts of physics fun to learn. Great resource to introduce concepts.
