Jason Chin, winner of the Caldecott Medal forWatercress, dives into the microscopic building blocks of life in this companion to the award-winningYour Place in the Universe.
InYour Place in the Universe, Jason Chin zoomed outward, from our planet, solar system, and galaxy to the outer reaches of the observable universe. Now, Chin reverses course, zooming in past our skin to our cells, molecules, and atoms, all the way down to particles so small we can’t yet even measure them.
Like its companion,The Universe in Youis a mind-boggling adventure that makes complex science accessible and enjoyable to readers of any age.
Impeccably researched, wholly engrossing, and with extensive backmatter for additional learning,The Universe in Youis another knockout from the award-winning creator ofRedwoods,Grand Canyon, and other distinguished works of nonfiction for young readers.
