Synopsis

What are tides? Why does the sea rise and fall each day? And how can the Moon, so far away, move whole oceans without touching a single drop?

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. The Big Questions: What Are Tides? is a children’s nonfiction picture book that turns one of the ocean’s most fascinating mysteries into a beautiful, accessible journey through Earth science, gravity, planetary motion, and the living rhythm of our world.

Created for kids ages 5–12, this ocean science book for children explores how the Moon and Sun help shape the tides, why coastlines change, how spring tides and neap tides work, and why the sea never truly stands still. It blends real science with wonder, helping children understand tides in a way that feels memorable, meaningful, and easy to grasp.

Inside this children’s nonfiction science book, readers will discover:

• What tides are and why the ocean rises and falls

• How the Moon’s gravity pulls on Earth’s oceans

• How the Sun and Moon work together to shape stronger and weaker tides

• The difference between spring tides and neap tides

• How tides affect shores, rock pools, sea life, harbours, and coastal habitats

• Big ideas about rhythm, change, connection, and the unseen forces that shape our planet

Perfect for:

• Kids ages 5–12 who love the sea, the Moon, nature, and big questions

• Parents looking for premium science books for kids

• Homeschool families exploring Earth science, oceanography, nature, or STEM

• Classrooms studying tides, gravity, coastlines, weather, or planetary motion

• Gift buyers searching for a beautiful and meaningful children’s picture book

This is more than a book about the sea. It is a journey into the science of tides, the pull of the Moon, the movement of oceans, and the hidden patterns that shape life along the shore.

If you are looking for a children’s book about tides that combines ocean science, wonder, and a truly memorable reading experience, The Big Questions: What Are Tides? is designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and inspire children to see the world differently.

Because sometimes the most powerful forces are the ones we cannot see, but can feel everywhere.
