Résumé

This book uses a fantasy tale to teach hard science about a very complex and poorly understood scientific phenomenon -- FRICTION -- to young children in a way they find both intriguing and relatable. Our young protagonist, Theo, is approached by a mysterious being called the Wish Magician, who wants Theo to make a wish that will make the world better. Based on recent unpleasant encounters with friction, Theo decides he wants it gone.  What results is an eye-opening series of events, ranging from unfortunate to catastrophic, that show just how far-reaching the effects of friction are in our everyday lives.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Greg Nelson

Greg Nelson , this tale's author, has a doctorate in Early Learning and Cognition, and he has spent the better part of the last half century either teaching young children or educating future early-childhood educators. His areas of expertise include fostering young children's early math and science understanding in developmentally appropriate ways, and detailing how to create and maintain stimulating and socially healthy learning environments for children.
Greg is the father of three children of his own. He is now happily retired and currently lives with his wife Ann in Raynham, Massachusetts. Though Greg has had a life-long love of quality children's literature, this is his first attempt to create a children's book himself. Timothy Gracia Jr. this tale's Illustrations Editor, is not just a QA Automation Engineer by profession but an explorer at heart, often delving into the realms of artificial intelligence and automation.
His days are spent ensuring the smooth orchestration of code, while his free hours are dedicated to unraveling the endless possibilities it holds. Away from the screen, Tim's world revolves around his young son Apollo, whose boundless curiosity is a gentle reminder of life's simpler joys. His family - completed by his wife Chrissy and their playful dog Xena - is his sanctuary, a place where laughter echoes through the halls and love binds them together.
Whether he's embarking on a coding adventure or enjoying a serene afternoon with his family, Tim carries a zest for discovery and a heart full of gratitude for the little moments that make life grand.
