A child ponders about how scientists seem to know everything about the world. They know that otters tie themselves to kelp. so they won't float away while they sleep. They know many things about deserts, starfish, macaws, glass frogs, Antarctica, and emperor penguins. Scientists know some things about dinosaurs, space, Mars and the human brain. But the child still has questions that scientists don't have answers to like, "Why does every humpback whale sing a different song?" and, "Do far away suns have planets like ours?". Then the child's biggest question of all is, "What will I discover?". 

What Will I Discover? gently stimulates the imagination of the young reader. I enjoyed the delightful storytelling illustrations and interesting questions that helped me feel curious about the world around me. The main character is dark skinned. It is difficult to tell what gender he or she is.
