Overview
This award-winning picture book reintroduces children to their innate relationship with the world around them
You Are Stardust begins with the idea that every tiny atom in our bodies came from a star that exploded long before we were born. From its opening pages, the book suggests that we are intimately connected to the natural world: it compares the way we learn to speak to the way baby birds learn to sing, and the growth of human bodies to the growth of forests. Grounded in science, this extraordinary and whimsical picture book reveals natural ties that are often sensed yet seldom explained and provides opportunities for children to use their imaginations and wonder about some big ideas.
Soyeon Kim’s incredible diorama art enhances the poetic text, and her creative process is explored in full in the final spreads of the book, which features comments from the artist. Young readers will want to pore over each page of this book, exploring the detailed artwork and pondering the message of the text, excited to find out just how connected to the Earth they really are.
