Overview

Learn how to THINK CRITICALLY, DREAM BIG, and EXPLORE THE POWER OF ""WHY"" by DESIGNING EXPERIMENTS while enjoying a beautiful, powerful, and engaging story with your kids! Nora and Cora can't understand why flapping their fins won't let them take to the sky just like birds. But just like scientists and statisticians, Nora knows that there's a difference between coincidence and cause. The two whales embark on an adventure of experiments as they try to defy gravity and prove that it IS possible for a narwhal to fly. This motivational reading book teaches children AND adults: ● To dream big dreams and ask big questions ● To understand and separate Cause and Effect ● New critical thinking skills used by the world's best problem solvers ● Adaptability and resilience ● Openness to learning For the nerds, the research behind the theme: Studies show that children's understanding of cause and effect is a critical part of development and that understanding experiments can lead to greater critical thinking abilities including an implicit awareness of statistics and causality (Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, 2015).

Author Information

Amazon best-selling author Ben Okon is a children's book writer who never outgrew his childhood habit of asking ""why?"" and ""how?"" Now that he's a father of two and has to be the one giving the answers, he loves challenging himself to think through the things he wishes he had known earlier in life from the perspective of a child. But he's not just an author, and he brings a unique analytical method to the design of his children's books. In his other life, Ben is a business leader who has developed people, product, and corporate strategies with companies like Google, Bain & Co., and Starwood Hotels. He crafts and tests each of his books using the same rigor that he employs when making decisions for some of the world's most influential leaders. He is a regular contributor to schools and educational nonprofits, and holds an MBA from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and a BS from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University.
