Description
A quiet new student named Jack has joined Rosie and Wolfie’s table just in time for a group project. They must use the scientific process to see which team can grow the tallest bean sprouts. Rosie is eager to make a new friend, but Jack doesn’t talk to her, and he seems to have a different idea about “teamwork.” Then Jack helps Rosie discover that there’s more than one way to do a science experiment—and more than one way to be a good friend. Author Maya Myers, former K-1 teacher and classroom literacy specialist, infuses this tale with clever curricula and captures the antics, excitement, drama, and hilarity of elementary school. Rich back matter offers additional curriculum support.
About the authors
Maya Myers writes books for kids and edits books for kids and adults. She’s a former teacher and loves cooking, gardening, and (of course) reading—just like Rosie! Originally from Maine, she now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, author-illustrator Matt Myers, who has more ideas than Wolfie. They have three kids, six chickens, and a twenty-three-pound cat named Hoss.
Eleanor Howell is a British writer and illustrator currently living in Toronto, Canada. She is interested in storytelling in its many forms, and has two Master's Degrees in Museum Studies and Archiving and is embarking on her third in English Literature. Eleanor loves reading, walking, and eating chocolate, but has yet to master the art of doing all three at the same time.
