Meet Maggie and Tommy!
Maggie is a curious and determined 7-year-old who loves uncovering life’s little mysteries. Her 4-year-old brother Tommy is never far behind, especially with his trusty blue blanky in tow!
Book 1: Dominant and Recessive Genes
One day, Maggie spots something surprising in her garden: a brand-new rosebud with a white flower, even though both of its parents are pink. How can that be?
With Tommy at her side and their brilliant Uncle Atlas ready to help, Maggie embarks on an exciting journey to discover the science of dominant and recessive genes. Together, they learn how traits are passed down, whether it’s the color of a rose or the color of your hair.
This charming and educational story makes big science ideas easy and fun, inspiring kids to explore the world around them with curiosity, wonder, and a touch of adventure.
