Hiya! I’m developing a children’s nonfiction book and I’d love some feedback on the concept before I get too far into the manuscript.
The working title is \*\*The Young Explorers’ Guide to Investigating the World\*\*.
The basic idea is to create a field-guide-style book that teaches children how to investigate the world around them. Instead of primarily saying \*“Here are some interesting facts about history/science/geography/etc.,”\* the book teaches children how to \*\*look closely, ask questions, follow clues, gather evidence, compare sources, notice patterns, reconsider assumptions, and draw their own conclusions.\*\*
The investigations could take them anywhere—from their own backyard or neighborhood to a historical photograph, an old building, a family story, a map, an artifact, a natural phenomenon, or a place they’ve never visited.
The larger philosophy is that \*\*curiosity itself is a skill\*\*, and that not knowing the answer isn’t a failure. Sometimes the most interesting part of an investigation is realizing that the evidence doesn’t give you a definitive answer.
I’m intentionally trying to avoid making it feel like a textbook or a workbook. I want it to feel more like \*\*someone handing a curious kid a set of tools and saying, “Go investigate.”\*\*
My question for writers, educators, nonfiction readers, and parents is:
\*\*Does this sound like a viable book concept, or does it sound too broad/abstract for a children’s nonfiction book?\*\*
And if you were handed a book like this as a child, what would make you want to actually pick it up and investigate something rather than simply read it?
I’m especially interested in feedback about the \*concept and approach\*, rather than publishing advice at this stage.

Yet another reason to love Joy. It was adorable when she said she would chew her carefully, like an old person with no teeth. Then she made the little old toothless person face. Legend. Legend in the game.
My best friend's birthday is coming up and I want to so something memorable. Has anyone visited the salt caves? What was your experience like? Looking for suggestions as well. The budget is tight, $100 total is what I can afford. Just really looking for something fun, unusual maybe to do before she ships out. 🫡
I thought it would be fun to brainstorm ideas for a show focused on the fabulous chef Joy. I would love to see a show focused on her. Maybe something showing her next adventure. And we get to learn more about her. I cried on the sneak peek when she talked about losing her mother. I just think she's an interesting person and she keeps things interesting but not in a bad way. I want to see her do all the things and conquer the world! As a little aside I think Coop would also do well his own wholesome show. Idk how long the wholesome part could last though after watching his WWHL appearance.
I LOVED the face card Aesha gave to Puke when he tried to garner sympathy at the end of dinner, for Joy finding out about Gen nad Puke's hookup. Also Cooper is so sweet. The way he clocked Gen having a hard time. He put her in between him and Kat at dinner. And he also sat in the back seat on the ride home. I know he wanted to sit by Kat but I think he also wanted to cheer Gen up. The next day when Puke gave Coop a half ass compliment and kept his response short and walked away. He also brought Aesha her noodles. He's just so thoughtful. Love that!
I'm rewatching this season from the beginning and at the end of episode one there is a preview of what's t come in the season. From what I can tell, Nathan jacks his back up, Gen is shown throwing a drink on Luke which narro misses Joy. Who was sitting awfully close to him aftee douchey behavior this past week. I couldn't make out whose head was bleeding. What are your take? also wondering if Nathan and Gael break up during the season because there was a clip and it sounded like she was crying.
I'm enjoying this British series so far about a detectorist, buried treasure, family dynamics, and gangster shit. I'm a big history nerd so from that perspective it's a fun watch too. Like I get the obsession. Also, when did Neil Morrissey become a silver fox? I almost forgot to mention that it's free on Tubi or Roku.
While viruses like HIV die quickly outside the body and cannot be transmitted through dry sheets, other pathogens are much more resilient. If Luke or Gen had an undiagnosed infection, the fluids left on the mattress could pose a threat:
A bed is already a warm environment. Introducing protein-rich organic matter like semen turns the sheets into an active petri dish.
As the fluid dries and sits unwashed, it breaks down and attracts secondary pests.
Ancient History (1st Century BC – 10th Century AD)
The Middle Ages (12th – 14th Century)
The Pillars of the Earth & Cadfael: A great pairing of 12th-century English life during a turbulent civil war, contrasting a grand, macro-level scale of cathedral building with a quiet, micro-level slow-burn monastic murder mystery.
World Without End: The direct 14th-century sequel to Pillars, continuing the generational historical saga through the devastation of the Black Death and the Hundred Years' War.
Early Modern Era (17th – 18th Century)
The Victorian Era (1830s – 1890s)
The Edwardian Era & WWI (1899 – 1918)

***If you've read this far as I said in the header please help me fill in the gaps. i just rattled these off and I have most definitely forgotten some. I have listed them by time period and paired them in places. Because I've been thinking about suggestions for pairs of film and/or tv series just for fun. Or if you're really crazy you could watch your way through history with some of my favorites on this list.
I saw an MGM+ ad that mentioned this and Treasure Island. The Treasure Island series stars Hayley Atwell and Jack Huston. And Tale of Two Cities stars Kit Harrington. The latter is in partnership with the BBC. They both sound promising.
I'm so excited to see what happens the rest of the season. From the sea preview it looks like Nathan's back gets jacked up and not in a good way. Someone's head is bleeding. Someone throws a drink on someone. There is a love triangle? i know some of you are super sharp and catch so many things I don't. Please give me your takes on what's to come.
The one at 545 S. Rangeline. Your hours of operation are, 24 hours accept for 10P-some random time, 2A-4A, and any other time you feel like leaving. Got it. 👌🏽
I always wanted to see these two cast as sisters. Or they just always sort of remind me of each other. What actors would you like to see cast as family?
Good day fellow Hoosiers. I had appalling care through St. V's and I wanted to ask, without sharing a ton about my situation. But has anyone successfully sued St. V's for medical malpractice, negligence or patient abandonment? I'm looking for a lawyer and would like to hear from anyone who may have been in a similar situation or experienced bad care from them? I checked my case Indiana and there a tons of lawsuits. So looking to chat with anyone who might have taken them to court and won.
