With English and Spanish versions under one cover, Water Wonders / Las Maravillas del Agua features two young scientists, Sydney and Symon Starr, a sister and brother team who explore their world by asking questions and conducting experiments with help from their family and teachers. Together, the two discover science and engineering while expressing themselves through writing.
