ALL ABOARD FOR A BIG, BRILLIANT QUESTION: WHAT ARE TRAINS?
Hi, my name is Ethan Solace-I’m an Interdisciplinary Psychologist and a Dad. Picture books are often the first place children begin to experience the wider world, yet we rarely stop to think about who is writing them, and the lasting impression those words can leave. That’s why I created The Big Questions series: premium picture books written with child development and real engagement in mind-never talking down to a child, but talking with them as they discover something amazing.
The Big Questions: What Are Trains? is an exciting, visually rich train book for kids that explores how trains workand how railways changed the world-from early steam engines and powerful locomotives to modern diesel and electric trains, high-speed trains (including bullet trains), underground subway/metro systems, and even maglev trains that seem to float. It’s the perfect blend of wonder and real-world learning for curious readers who love transportation, STEM, and engineering.
Inside you’ll discover:
How steam, diesel, and electric trains move people and pull enormous freight
The parts of a locomotive and the science that makes rail travel work
High-speed rail, bullet trains, and the future of train technology
Subways, tunnels, extreme rail routes, and record-breaking trains
Magnetic levitation and other innovations shaping tomorrow’s railways
Perfect for ages 5-12, this children’s nonfiction picture book is ideal for bedtime reading, classrooms, homeschooling, and as a gift for any young train lover.
Open the book, and let the journey begin.
