product description
In an astonishing unfurling of our universe, Newbery Honor winner Marion Dane Bauer and Caldecott Honor winner Ekua Holmes celebrate the birth of every child.
Before the universe was formed, before time and space existed, there was . . . nothing. But then . . . BANG! Stars caught fire and burned so long that they exploded, flinging stardust everywhere. And the ash of those stars turned into planets. Into our Earth. And into us. In a poetic text, Marion Dane Bauer takes readers from the trillionth of a second when our universe was born to the singularities that became each one of us, while vivid illustrations by Ekua Holmes capture the void before the Big Bang and the ensuing life that burst across galaxies. A seamless blend of science and art, this picture book reveals the composition of our world and beyond — and how we are all the stuff of stars.
Book Features:
- A stirring and gorgeous collaboration between two celebrated picture book creators: Newbery Honor winner Marion Dane Bauer and Caldecott Honor winner Ekua Holmes.
- In a vivid blend of science and art, Ekua Holmes's illustrations capture the void before the Big Bang and the ensuing life that burst across galaxies.
- An evocative and lyrical homage to the Big Bang that will make an excellent read-along to an informational book on the subject.
