International Day of Women & Girls in Science, February 11

Today, for International Women and Girls in Science Day, I’m sharing a series of children’s book recommendations for teachers, parents, and anyone passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists.

Stories are powerful, they help children see what’s possible and who they can become. These books highlight curious minds, diverse role models, and the creativity at the heart of science, technology, engineering, and maths.

Most of the texts will appeal to all ages however I've included a loose grade band recommendation for each set.
