""Brilliantly reframes the often-feared Yellowstone Supervolcano as the superhero of America's first national park. The world needs more books like this!"" --Mattison Shreero, Geoscientist and Park Ranger, Badlands National Park ""This insightful book explores the park's geothermal features, the underlying magma chamber, and the volcanic activity that shapes the landscape, blending rigorous science with engaging storytelling to inspire young readers about geology and conservation"" --Dr. Christopher Spencer, Geology Professor at Queen's University ""What a wonderful gift for a teacher to bring so much science into a classroom, and then to turn that passion for Yellowstone into a children's book. If I had a teacher like this as a young kid I would've probably been a geologist much earlier in life!"" --Elley Ringo, Economic Geologist, & Science Communicator, YouTuber Elley Knows Rocks ""This STEM book checks all the boxes for what I think when considering true geoscience inspiration."" --Ethan Penner, Geologist & Geoscience Communicator/Educator (@rockmanethan) ""A wonderfully written book able to take a complex concept and break it down for kids of all ages to understand and enjoy.
