‘Curio Power and the Roly-Polies: A Tiny Adventure About Curiosity, Sisters, and Nature’ is a children’s picture book by Linda Ellis with illustrations by Jean Ruth. The story follows two sisters who shrink down into their own garden, and the book’s tagline sums up its theme: ‘Curiosity is a superpower!’ It sells for $24.99 direct from the book’s website and is also listed on Amazon.

For homeschoolers and classrooms

The book’s Meet the Roly-Polies page introduces the characters (Kylie, Aliana, Yash, Sprig and Pebble) and includes a short list of true roly-poly facts, which makes it an easy pairing with a backyard bug hunt or a trip to the Butterfly Pavilion’s homeschool days.
