Making the most of time together

Mari and Luz share a father but have different mothers, so their time together is usually limited to weekends. When a delay gives them extra time, they plan activities and estimate how long each will take—bringing ideas about time and measurement into an everyday family situation. The story also touches on the sadness of parting and the sisters’ bond beyond the hours they spend together. Back matter adds information about telling time and hands-on STEAM activities, extending the book’s blend of sibling relationships and practical learning.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children interested in stories about siblings and family relationships
  • Families and educators seeking an introduction to estimating time and telling time
  • Readers looking for picture books that connect everyday life with STEAM activities

Book overview

Join half-sisters Mari and Luz in an exploration of time and estimation, because STEAM is everywhere and for everyone!

Part of STEAMWORKS, a series of fiction picture books for ages 4-7 that relate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) to kids' everyday lives.


Mari and Luz are a special kind of sister: half sisters! They share the same Papi but have different moms, so they spend only weekends together. When Luz's mom is running late, the girls are determined to make the most of their extra time--planning their activities, estimating how long each will take, and diving in. But time runs out too soon, and Mari feels sad. Luz reminds her that they're sisters ALL the time, even if they can only be together some of the time.

Extend the learning beyond the story with expertly crafted back matter, including additional information about telling time and fun STEAM activities.

STEAMWORKS features children of all backgrounds and abilities using scientific and mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems and answer questions that matter to them. Playful stories and extension activities ignite excitement for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) and empower children as thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators.

STEAMWORKS picture books are also available in Spanish.
