Readers will soon learn, however, that those who have trouble following might have other talents instead.<\/p>\n<p><em>All Eyes on Alexandra <\/em>is a perfect example to show that STEM books don\u2019t have to be nonfiction. It introduces children both to an amazing natural phenomena, a massive bird migration, and also to a personal story that they might be able to relate to their own lives or families. Those who love fiction are introduced to facts and those who love nonfiction are introduced to stories. It is win-win.<\/p>\n<p>It is a lovely and versatile picture book. Let <em>All Eyes on Alexandra<\/em> take you on a journey today!<\/p>\n<p>And, we have activity suggestions to accompany the book from author Anna Levine today at <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.me\/psPiZ-4gP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Growing with Science<\/a> blog.
