Just Curious…
If you’re looking for someplace to start, and just want to get a feel for my writing and teaching style, you can read the Newton’s Laws: A Fairy Tale Sample and The Wayfarer’s Scepter: An Adventure in Magnetism
I want to learn something fun!
Awesome!

Ages 8-10
For ages 8-10 I’d recommend the Physics Fables, which are short stories that each introduce a single physics topic. Each story includes a fun hands-on activity or discussion questions.
The Wayfarer’s Scepter: An Adventure in Magnetism
Sakura and the Many-Layered Sea: A Tale of Density
The Tortoise, the Hare, and the Photon: A Tale of Special Relativity
Clemmm and the Polar Coordinates
Ages 10-12
For ages 10-12 I’d recommend the longer stories, the art projects, and maybe even a bit of math :)
Physics Fables
Ages 12-14
For ages 12-14 we can start to dive into some math, but the fables and fairy tales might still be fun.
Ages 14+
For ages 14+ I’d recommend really diving into calculations, as long as a reader is comfortable with math.
Stick Figure Physics (Includes a lot of Algebra and a few skippable chapters on Calculus)
