Description:

Every tiny atom in your body was forged inside a star that blazed and exploded long before you were born. The water swirling in your glass once filled the puddles where dinosaurs drank. You learn to talk the same way baby birds learn to sing — by listening and repeating. And each time you blow a kiss, you scatter pollen that might one day become a flower. From its breathtaking opening line, You Are Stardust unfolds a luminous series of connections between the human body and the wider natural world, all grounded in current science and expressed in poetic, wonder-filled language. Illustrated by Soyeon Kim using vivid painting, multidimensional cutouts, and extraordinary textures, every page is a feast for the eyes and the imagination. A magnificent, starred-review picture book that gently reminds children — and adults — that we are not separate from nature: we are nature, through and through.
