What if a great idea could transform an open space into something pawsome?
In Charli’s Pawsome Park: An Architectural Adventure, the second book in the Charli Explores STEM® series, young readers return to Charli’s world where curiosity sparks creativity and big ideas lead to real change.
When Charli meets a landscape architect who designed her town’s new park, she can’t stop wondering what it would be like to design outdoor spaces herself. As she learns how architects plan parks using CAD programs, 3D models, and teamwork, Charli’s imagination takes off.
Soon, a problem close to her heart appears. There’s no place in town where dogs can safely play off-leash. Inspired by her love for her dog, Paris, Charli dreams of a solution, a dog park designed with both pets and people in mind!
With Charli’s help, readers explore:
• Landscape architecture and STEM careers
• Design thinking, planning, and problem-solving
• Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and 3D modeling
• Civic engagement and community decision-making
• Collaboration, perseverance, and confidence
Perfect for readers ages 6–9, this engaging chapter book encourages curiosity, creative thinking, and early interest in STEM and design careers.
