It is a beautiful and captivating picture book filled with science facts, including “atoms are the building blocks of molecules” and “the nucleus is at the center of the cloud.” Caldecott winner Jason Chin travels through the universe of “you” with engaging elements about the tiniest of things. Detailed illustrations explain that cells are like tiny water balloons and offer connections to other science facts, allowing your imagination to grow. Readers will be inspired to look around at all living things, from the tallest trees to the longest whales. This book is an adventure in science that’s enjoyable and inspirational for the whole family. The building blocks of matter and life and the periodic table of elements are provided in the back of the book.

Did you know there’s a zone in the ocean called bathypelagic? In science room ten, students have been exploring ocean dwellers. Scales! Claws! Stingers! Their assignment is to research a sea creature and learn all its features. Agatha May hopes her favorite is left but she is choosing last because she hasn’t earned any merit points. Turns out chewing bubble gum, being tardy and not focusing in class don’t win any points. Luckily, her fish was unclaimed! But Agatha May can’t figure out why her fellow students aren’t as excited about the humpback anglerfish as she is. Song’s colorful drawings are filled with ocean waves, bioluminescence lights and beautiful views of an anglerfish. This picture book will inspire children to learn, encouraging them with the message, “Follow your passion as far as your creativity will take you.”
