The Story of Everything: The Story of You!

This book explains EVERYTHING-from the birth of the universe to the birth of YOU!

How did the universe begin? Where did the sun and the planets come from? What about the earth and all of its plants and animals? And how do I fit into this elegant plan?

This picture book answers all of those questions and more for curious kids who never run out of questions.

Beginning with the Big Bang, elegant yet simple prose weaves together the major turning points of all time from formation of the solar to the dinosaurs to the evolution of humankind. Building this beautiful portrait of our universe, young readers can discover how they are the culmination of extraordinary events!

A spiritual successor of the classic On the Day You Were Born by Debra Frasier, The Story of Everything is an inspiring gift for baby showers, birthdays, soon-to-be-siblings, or graduations.

Perfect for preschoolers, kindergarteners and first and second graders. The simple text delivers accessible science education in few words. In the back of the book, an easily read chart provides a timeline and describes major events in each geologic time period.
