The Slime King is part of the Makers Make it Work series and showcases Leo who never felt good at science, but enjoyed making slime. His teacher learns about his slime interest and helps him make the chemistry connection.

This series of books is doing an amazing job at being inclusive. In this book, the teacher wears a hijab and has a fuller figure. The book includes a slime recipe and would be a fun curriculum connection in a science classroom.
