Simultaneously published in English as June’s Solar Oven, this clever tale emphasizes the importance of teamwork and creativity as protagonist June sets out to have a great day building a functional solar oven with her peers. Science is June’s superpower, and she is ultra-prepared, but her club’s plan to host this activity outdoors almost makes her back out altogether. With her family’s support, she arrives at the event and puts her designs to use with friends Eli and Sofía. Text and illustrations are accompanied by lists, labels, and project tools—food ingredients too!—which make it easy for young readers to follow how June’s team constructs their solar invention. Five teams work diligently with the supplies at hand, but only one will successfully clock in their yummy results first. Spanish-language lectors will appreciate how tin foil, a cardboard box, and clingy plastic wrap can produce the right amount of sunlight to cook snacks when scientific methods are correctly used. Pagán Muñoz’s translation makes this a handy classroom companion. It provides a glossary, activities for further reflection, and a step-by-step guide to help readers create their own solar ovens. ¬VERDICT Purchase this sweet Spanish-language picture book to strengthen STEM collections and curricular tie-ins.
