It only takes a small spark to ignite a child's mind.
Chris Ferrie is an award-winning physicist and Senior Lecturer for Quantum Software and Information at the University of Technology Sydney. He has a Masters in applied mathematics, BMath in mathematical physics and a PhD in applied mathematics. He lives in Australia with his wife and children.
"Start 'em young with this STEM-centric board-book that promotes
science literacy." - Los Angeles
Times
"Simple illustrations and simple explanations to launch your future
rocket scientist." - NPR, Science

"Ferrie delivers a cleanly designed introduction to how matter and
energy interact on an atomic level." - Publishers
Weekly
"Lively explorations of physics, technology, and space." -
School Library Journal
"In this board book series, Ferrie makes his knowledge accessible
to the youngest of readers--and probably some adults, too... the
subject material will certainly be enjoyable for trendy caretakers
to read aloud. (And the pictures of babies chewing on the covers
are going to be #instaworthy.)" - Shelf Awareness for
Readers
"This series is entirely age-appropriate and baby-accessible,
featuring bright colors and simple sentence structure; it's just
that instead of teaching words like "hippopotamus" they teach words
like "electron". A wonderful way to help stimulate interest in math
and science from an extremely early age, the Baby University series
is highly recommended, especially for library collections intended
for pre-Kindergarten children." - Midwest Book
Review
"Whether you're expecting an amazing bundle of joy, or already have
one or more, these new books by Chris Ferrie are perfect!" -
Kelly's Thoughts on Things
"We were intrigued how Chris would master introducing quantum
physics to such young minds but we were impressed! Neutrons,
protons, atoms, electrons are explained as simply as possible. The
drawings are again so easy to understand. This kept our three year
old's interest right until the end and she was happy to learn that
she is now on her way to being a quantum physicist! There are few
things cute than hearing a child under 5 saying quantum physicist."

"These adorable board books teach baby quantum physics." -
The Bump
"Physicist and father Chris Ferrie knows it's never too soon to
learn Newton's three laws of motion or Einstein's theory of general
relativity. His board books are illustrated with eye-catching
graphics for baby geniuses and written with a tongue in cheek
humour for their adult friends, who might also learn a thing or two
about aerospace engineering." - Plenty
