The Books
Two series. Two kinds of curious.
Both start in the same place — a real question, asked by a real child — and then go in different directions depending on who is holding the book.
Raphaël and…
The questions, exactly as they were asked.
Picture books for the youngest curious minds. Every one starts with something my son actually asked — about black holes, about plants that eat the sun — and then goes all the way into the real answer, without ever pretending the question was silly.
Picture books · read-aloud age and up · English and French

Giants of Science
The people who looked again.
Illustrated stories for readers who are ready for the human beings behind the discoveries — Imhotep, Thales, Hypatia, and the rest of the giants history undersells. Real lives, real evidence, and the moment each of them refused to accept the settled answer.
Illustrated non-fiction · roughly ages 7–10
