What Makes Us Unique:
The story doesn't stay on the page. Most books get read and shelved. Here, the book and the tee are designed as one experience: the Discovery Pocket hides a print of the very spring the story explains, so kids carry the wonder with them and get to be the expert when someone asks "what is that?"
Written by a best-selling author, built with global educators. Susan Verde is a New York Times best-selling children's author with over 2 million copies sold, and every box is developed with our Global Board of Educators.
Multi-Sensory Learning: Kids learn best when they can see, touch, and explore new ideas in different ways. Pairing stories with visual themes and hands-on activities makes learning more engaging and memorable.
A gift that gives twice. First, to the kid who receives it, then to the world they are learning about. 5% of your order goes to Yellowstone Forever to help protect the very place this story comes from.
Grand Prismatic Spring Box with Book & Discovery Pocket Tee
Stories kids read. Ideas kids wear.
This is the complete Grand Prismatic experience in one ready-to-gift box: a hardcover book by New York Times best-selling author Susan Verde, the matching Discovery Pocket tee, and a hands-on science surprise, all packed in a premium keepsake box with a magnetic latch. No wrapping paper required.
The story. Yellowstone's Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States: a pool wider than a football field, ringed in rainbow colors created by heat-loving bacteria called thermophiles. Susan Verde turns it into a page-turner filled with real photography, prediction prompts, and words like "thermophile" that kids love saying out loud.
The tee. Butter-soft, tagless, made from 60% organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester. The Discovery Pocket hides a print of the spring inside. Kids pull it out, show it off, and get to explain a natural wonder to everyone who asks "what is that?"
The first discovery happens before the book is even opened: a small bag that dissolves completely in water, revealing a collectible hangtag for their backpack. Yes, that is real science too. The book explains how it works.
Ages 4 to 10. Sizes 3-4Y to 9-10Y. Free shipping on all orders. 5% of your order supports Yellowstone Forever, the nonprofit dedicated to Yellowstone National Park.

About The Book
An interactive children's book, written by New York Times best-selling author Susan Verde
As you read with your child, you will encounter striking photographs of the spring’s rainbow-colored waters and learn why this natural wonder is so unique.
This hardcover book invites readers to experience the mystery and beauty of Yellowstone’s Grand Prismatic Spring. Children encounter vivid photographs that capture its rainbow-colored waters while learning about the science that makes this wonder possible. The book reveals what causes the spring’s intense heat, explains the surprising role of bacteria in forming its brilliant colors, and explores how this natural marvel came to be one of the most celebrated landmarks in the park.
As the story unfolds, children are encouraged to imagine, predict, and ask questions about its history and mystery. They wonder who first discovered the spring, how it got its name, whether it is safe to swim in, and what kinds of plants and animals thrive in and around its steaming waters. A world map helps them locate Yellowstone and compare the distance to their own home, sparking curiosity about geography and travel. Activities and word games help reinforce new discoveries, while creative prompts inspire readers to draw, write, and create personal connections to the Grand Prismatic Spring.
This engaging book reflects the wonder of the Grand Prismatic Spring Collection and provides families with a reason to sit together, step away from screens, and celebrate the beauty of one of nature’s most spectacular creations.
