How Does Steam Form?
–Available NOW!

Mary Parker is back — and this time, she’s asking a simple question with a surprising answer.

How Does Steam Form? is a children’s book about steam, heat, and science, following Mary as she begins to notice the everyday moments where water changes form. From a whistling kettle to rising vapor, she learns how heat transforms water into steam—and how careful observation can lead to deeper understanding.

With guidance from family and the world around her, Mary discovers that even the most ordinary experiences can reveal something extraordinary about how the world works.
