In this empowering picture book with a STEM focus, Charlotte, a budding bunny scientist, is determined to use the scientific method to cure a mysterious malady sweeping the forest.

In “Charlotte the Scientist Finds a Cure,” the animals of the forest — including Charlotte’s Grandpa — are all getting sick, and no one can figure out why. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery and help her friends and family, Charlotte dives into some serious medical science. But when the doctors and other scientists don’t take her work seriously, she ignores the doubters and confidently finds a cure to the mysterious malady affecting the forest.

This is the newest and second book about Charlotte the bunny scientist from Chapel Hill-based author Camille Andros. The author’s first, “Charlotte the Scientist is Squished,” was her picture book debut.
