What is a drone?
A flying robot? A camera in the sky? A rescue helper? A delivery machine? A tiny explorer on another world?
The Big Questions: What Is A Drone? is a beautifully written children's nonfiction picture book about drones, robotics, engineering, technology, exploration, rescue, delivery, defence, the ocean, and space.
Created for curious readers aged 5-12, this premium STEM picture book takes children on a thrilling journey through one of the most exciting technologies of our time. From rooftops and racing courses to wildfires, forests, remote villages, deep oceans, and Martian skies, drones are changing how humans see, move, help, protect, and explore.
Hi, my name is Ethan Solace-an interdisciplinary psychologist and a dad. Picture books are often the first place children encounter the wider world, but we don't always stop to think about who wrote them, or the lasting impression they leave.
I wrote The Big Questions series to be premium, exciting, child-friendly, and based on how children actually engage, not talking down to them, but exploring with them. These books are designed to make big ideas feel alive through wonder, story, emotional intelligence, and clear understanding.
In What Is A Drone?, children discover that drones are far more than flying toys. They are machines built from imagination, sensors, cameras, motors, code, and human purpose. Some film the world from above. Some search for missing people. Some deliver medicine where roads cannot reach. Some dive beneath the waves. Some race through neon gates. Some help scientists, rescuers, engineers, and explorers reach places too dangerous, too distant, or too difficult for people to go.
This book blends real-world science with cinematic storytelling, helping children explore drones in a way that feels exciting, accessible, and full of possibility.
Inside, children will explore:
- What drones are and how they work
- How drones use cameras, sensors, GPS, motors, and smart design
- How rescue drones help in fires, floods, earthquakes, forests, and mountains
- How delivery drones can carry medicine, supplies, food, and parcels
- Why racing drones are pushing speed, skill, and engineering
- How ground drones and underwater drones are changing transport and exploration
- How drones help scientists study wildlife, oceans, volcanoes, ruins, and extreme places
- How drones are used in defence and why powerful technology needs responsibility
- How space drones and robotic explorers are helping us reach beyond Earth
- What the drones of the future might do next
Perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, homeschool learning, STEM lessons, robotics topics, engineering discussions, technology studies, future inventors, and children who love asking how things work, this book turns drones into a doorway to science, courage, creativity, and wonder.
Written with warmth, clarity, and cinematic imagination, The Big Questions: What Is A Drone? helps children understand that technology is not only about machines. It is about the people who design them, the problems they solve, the places they reach, and the choices we make about how they are used.
For every child who watches the sky and wonders what else might fly, this book offers an unforgettable answer.
Drones are not just machines.
They are imagination taking flight.
And the sky is only the beginning.
