This beautiful book is about the big bang. How that works as a topic for a picture is hard to imagine, but Bauer and Holmes make it work!
Euka Holmes does the most amazing work.
She layers paper collage for these super detailed and subtle images.
Like woah!!
Seriously. This is a beautifully illustrated book about physics for kids.
There was talk about this one for a Caldecott last year. That didn't happen, but it did win the Coretta Scott King Award for Illustration.
The ash of those dying stars gathered into planets....
So much movement and suppressed passion in these pictures!
All of the universe was preparing and waiting for YOU.
You took a big breath
of the same air
once breathed
by woolly mammoths.
You cried tears
that were once salty seas.
Your hair
once the carbon in a leaf.
I love this spread!!
All of us, the stuff of stars.
