ABOUT
The Big Questions Answered is a new and exciting imprint of Hungry Tomato. We have created a brand that will show children that science plays a big part in their future and spark an interest to find out more.
And who knows - it may even inspire them to become the scientists of the future!
Science saves lives, connects us with our natural world and helps us build a brighter future. In fact, science is the key to solving some of our planet’s biggest challenges!
We believe that, from an early age, every child can enjoy learning and reading about science if it’s designed and presented in a stimulating and creative way! That’s why we created The Big Questions Answered – a series of brilliant non-fiction narrative books aimed to spark an interest in science and inspire the next generation of problem solvers!
The Big Questions Answered is more than just a collectable series of books; it’s a complete resource that makes the real stories behind the greatest scientific discoveries engaging, exciting, and enjoyable to read. Alongside each book are a selection of comprehensive free resources linked to each field of science. They encourage discussion, give more in-depth information for teachers and parents to use alongside the books, and allow children to learn about science in lots of different and fun ways.
THE CREATIVE TEAM BEHIND THE BIG QUESTIONS ANSWERED
At Hungry Tomato, we understand that not all children are natural bookworms. That’s why we take pride in crafting non-fiction books that are visually captivating, informative and, first and foremost, engaging! We believe children have a natural curiosity, and enjoy asking questions and finding out answers, if you can capture their attention.
We’re based all the way down in Cornwall, a small county at the tip of the UK! Surrounded by a legacy of artists, writers, and storytellers who have been drawn here because of the great universities and the magic of this coastal county. It’s a part of the UK that has always inspired creativity, and we are proud to work with and support the talented people in Cornwall.
