Newly translated titles from DC publisher foster intellectual and emotional intelligence for young readers worldwide

WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UNITED STATES, July 7, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Science Naturally is pleased to announce the publication of Atoms / পরমাণ and Cuddled and Carried / আদরে ও আলিঙ্গনে, two new bilingual editions of award-winning family favorites. In these new paperback editions, young readers will be introduced to the building blocks of chemistry, the role of mothers in taking care of their young, and the foundations of critical thinking and empathy.

Written for children ages two through seven, Atoms / পরমাণ teaches readers about the invisible building blocks of life in a fun and memorable way. With catchy rhymes, colorful illustrations, and engaging fun facts, this bilingual picture book is the perfect resource for children wanting to learn more about the things they cannot see, hear, smell, taste, or touch.

Atoms / পরমাণ encourages future scientists to approach chemistry with an open mind, a sense of adventure, and a vast imagination, and the book’s accessibility makes it a great introduction to some of the most fundamental concepts in STEM. As environmental scientist Momin Uddin says, Atoms / পরমাণ is a “great way to introduce atoms and chemical elements to young children, who will be amazed that these tiny units make everything around us! Beautiful illustrations, colorful chemical charts, and the bilingual feature will make this book even more attractive to young readers.”

Cuddled and Carried / আদরে ও আলিঙ্গনে introduces readers to diverse animal families around the world and is great for infants, toddlers, and young readers. A simple story of mothers lending a paw, wing, flipper, or hand to care for their young, this family-oriented book encourages compassion and empathy and fosters emotional awareness among even the youngest of audiences.

A beautiful introduction to attachment parenting in the natural world, Cuddled and Carried / আদরে ও আলিঙ্গনে has gentle verse and heartwarming illustrations that reveal the importance of family to readers of all ages. Monirul Islam, an art educator at the New York Department of Education says this book is a “simple and direct reflection of the role of a mother in raising a child. There will be a remnant of a mother’s affection and deep feelings for the child forever.”

With a long-standing commitment to producing accessible reading materials for children all over the world, Science Naturally is thrilled to be publishing these titles in response to the needs of literacy organizations serving Bengali communities. Both Atoms / পরমাণ and Cuddled and Carried / আদরে ও আলিঙ্গনে contribute to a shared goal of getting quality books into the hands of children who need them, while also keeping non-native English speakers and world language learners excited about literature and the sciences.

Complementary Teacher’s Guides, published in English, are available for each of these titles and can be downloaded for free from Science Naturally’s website. With hands-on activities, articulations to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and supplementary information about chemistry and parenting, respectively, the Atoms and Cuddled and Carried Teacher’s Guides are excellent resources for parents as well as educators.
