Buku STEM Praktis untuk Anak Usia Dini karya Maila Rahiem membahas penerapan pendekatan STEM (Sains, Teknologi, Enjinering, dan Matematika) pada pendidikan anak usia dini secara sederhana, kontekstual, dan menyenangkan. Buku ini menekankan bahwa STEM bukanlah pembelajaran akademik yang rumit, melainkan cara anak memahami dunia melalui bermain, eksplorasi, dan pengalaman langsung. Dengan mengusung prinsip 5M (Mudah, Murah, Menggembirakan, Mindful, dan Meaningful), buku ini memberikan panduan praktis bagi guru dan orang tua dalam merancang aktivitas yang mendorong rasa ingin tahu, kemampuan berpikir kritis, pemecahan masalah, serta keberanian mencoba dan memperbaiki kesalahan. Selain itu, buku ini juga menguraikan pentingnya peran orang dewasa sebagai fasilitator yang mendukung proses belajar anak melalui dialog, pertanyaan reflektif, dan lingkungan yang aman serta inklusif. Dengan demikian, buku ini menjadi panduan aplikatif untuk menciptakan pengalaman belajar STEM yang bermakna sejak dini.
