Meteorologist and science host Johanna Wagstaffe brings her passion for earth science to Little Volcano: The Science of Earth’s Eruptions (Orca $21.95), illustrated by Julie McLaughlin, a children’s book that follows Stevie, an underwater volcano discovering her identity while introducing young readers to volcanic science. A familiar voice from CBC Vancouver and CBC News Network, Wagstaffe builds on her background in seismology and geophysics to make complex natural phenomena accessible. Blending narrative with diagrams, real-world examples and safety insights, Little Volcano reflects her ongoing commitment to science education, shaped in part by personal histories of displacement and encounters with natural disasters that inform her perspective on the power of the Earth. 9781459844223
