Ethan's STEM Adventures: I Can Be a Scientist!
Like the infinite-shade of colors, the richness of life is enhanced by our natural inclination, as creative beings, to hold distinct perspectives on just about any subject. Collectively, however, I believe we all appreciate the profound significance of all the things that influenced and molded us from an early age-the moments and events that are weaved intricately into our memories. Who amongst us cannot recall a story, no matter what artistic form used to bring it to a book, a show, a play, a comic, a song, a movie, or even a real-life character (that family member, teacher, coach, or friend) who shaped the lens with which we view the world then, now, and always. For this very reason, I believe children should see themselves represented in all areas of human endeavors, cementing deep within their framework the possibilities that await, regardless of prevailing circumstances. My hope is to bridge the diversity gap in STEM by creating excitement around Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through diverse representation.
"I see me, therefore I can be." So it remains, like the infinite shades of color, the richness of life is enhanced by the stories and experiences that holds us. -Louis J. Desforges

About the author
Louis J. Desforges
4 books92 followersHaving endless curiosity, Louis has always been enthralled by the inner workings of everything around him.
With a natural and insatiable drive to build, explore, and understand, one of his fondest childhood memories is harvesting toasters, microwaves, TVs, and other discarded electronics in his Brooklyn neighborhood so he could take apart and rebuild them, or scavenge parts to build his own remote-controlled cars or planes.
He is the first to admit that nothing ever worked as intended, or at all, for that matter, but that never really mattered to him. As long as he was dissecting, constructing, exploring and learning, his cup was always full.
Today, his tinkering looks very different. Louis spends countless hours building and rebuilding Lego sets with his four-year-old son.
With any free time left after work and family life (usually late at night), you can find Louis in his workshop (any available free space with a flat surface) writing, painting, sculpting, or toiling over his photography; nonetheless, his deep love for STEM remains, and at its core feeds his endless curiosity and desire to understand the inner workings of everything.

Ethan's STEM Adventures: I Can Be a Scientist! by Louis Desforges
It is really amazing how the authors choose diverse subjects for their books, and they want to inspire and encourage children in every possible way.
It is important to teach young children that they can be anything, a biologist, astronomer, or Geographer one day if they put their minds to it.
This book follows Ethan, a young boy who loves to explore, and science excites him more. Ethan's STEM Adventures is a great way to show kids what science offers to them, from space to the ocean, history to mystery, we can get all the answers through science. Science helps us see, What was, what is, and what it can be!
This rhyming picture book portrays various STEM careers through children from diverse backgrounds and encourages them to choose one for themselves.
This book helps foster children's interest in a wide variety of STEM careers and motivates them to shape their future through STEM.
Perfect for 3+

This book has pretty well everything you could want to read to a child or for a young reader. Plus as you can see from the excerpt it is in a sort of prose making it easier for any reader or listener. I've said this enough times to be accused of plagiarinzing myself but I absolutely love books that are fun and educational at the same time. Aside from its cute illustrations this book has something even more important. It teaches self-worth; that we can be what we want to be. Can't get much better than that, can it?

I really enjoyed this story. I loved the positivity of the message simply stated, and the illustrations drew my attention as I turned the pages. I highly recommend this story to parents with little scientists at home or even those who are just adventurous.
I received a copy of this story through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
