A Party of Colors

Join Salem and Baba in an exploration of sequencing, color mixing and the carwash, because STEAM is everywhere and for everyone!

Part of STEAMWORKS, a series of fiction board books for ages 0-3 that relate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to kids’ everyday lives

It’s Salem’s first car wash with Baba! As they move from the prewash rinse to the windy dryer, Salem excitedly watches colors mix—red and blue bubbles turn purple, and yellow and blue foam turns green. The car wash is a party of colors!

Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about sequencing, color mixing and fun STEAM activities.

STEAMWORKS features children of all backgrounds and abilities using scientific and mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems and answer questions that matter to them. Playful stories and extension activities ignite excitement for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) and empower children as thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators.

STEAMWORKS board books are also available in Spanish bilingual.
