How Does My Home Work?

This engaging nonfiction book takes young readers on a journey through the unseen systems that make a home function. With charming retro illustrations, it explains complex concepts like electricity, water supply, and natural gas in an accessible way for children aged 4-11. Beyond simply explaining 'how things work,' the book also gently introduces the importance of energy conservation and preserving natural resources, empowering children to understand their role in a larger system. It's a perfect conversation starter for curious minds.

The inner workings of a home are laid out for kids in fun, retro illustrations jam-packed with the technology behind everyday life. How does flipping a switch on the wall make the lights come on? Where does the clean water that flows out of the faucet come from? What is used to keep a home warm? Travel beyond the walls and under the floors of a house to find out more about the electricity, water, and natural gas that make your home work — and find out how you can do your part to save energy and preserve these resources.
