What keeps a skyscraper standing when gravity pulls down, powerful winds push sideways, and thousands of people move through it every day?
I AM A SKYSCRAPER (INSIDE HOW IT WORKS) takes curious young readers on an unforgettable journey from deep underground foundations all the way to the rooftop, revealing the incredible engineering hidden inside the world's tallest buildings.
Through colorful cutaway illustrations, easy-to-understand explanations, fascinating facts, and hands-on STEM challenges, children discover how foundations carry enormous loads, steel and concrete create strength, skyscrapers sway safely in the wind, elevators move people between floors, and plumbing, electricity, HVAC, fire protection, and building controls keep an entire tower working.
Young readers will explore structural engineering, architecture, construction, tower cranes, earthquake engineering, building safety, skyscraper design, and the remarkable teams who turn ambitious blueprints into real buildings.
Perfect for curious kids ages 6-12, future engineers, young builders, architecture fans, homeschool families, classrooms, STEM learning, and children who constantly ask, How does that work?
More than a book about tall buildings, this is an invitation to observe, question, design, solve problems, and think like an engineer.
Look beneath the glass. Follow the forces. Discover the systems. Then design a skyscraper of your own.
Open the book and start building curiosity from the ground up.
