    What makes a flash flood? How can you stay safe when floodwaters start to rise? Discover Now! MIT Kids presents an exciting “how things work” leveled reader series, tailor-made for the next generation of innovators, scientists, and thinkers.

    Did you know that when floodwaters rise very quickly, it’s known as a flash flood? Big storms can bring lots of rain, which sometimes causes rivers to overflow and even sweep away cars or wash out roads. But there are some basic steps for staying safe in a flash flood, like keeping away from rivers, avoiding flooded roads, and going to higher ground. For kids who are curious about the world around them comes Discover Now!, a welcoming leveled reader series written by experts and developed with educators on a range of STEM subjects. Each fact-filled nonfiction book begins with an informative note to caregivers and a table of contents, is packed with colorful photos, and ends with a glossary and index. This book is a Level 1 reader, perfect for curious kids who are just starting their reading journey.
    Teresa Robeson is the author of Queen of Physics: How Wu Chien Shiung Helped Unlock the Secrets of the Atom, illustrated by Rebecca Huang, which won an APALA Picture Book Award; Two Bicycles in Beijing, illustrated by Junyi Wu; and Clouds in Space: Nebulae, Stardust, and Us, illustrated by Diana Renzina. She lives on twenty-seven acres in southern Indiana, where she relaxes by birding, keeping up with science, making soap, knitting, baking, and trying to impress the chickens with her bilingualism.
