My Name Is Stardust

Review\nIn simple text and beautiful illustrations, My Name is Stardust elegantly captures what Neil DeGrasse Tyson called the most astounding fact-- that we are literally stardust, and that this connects us to everything that ever was and ever will be. A captivating addition to the literature of science and wonder for the youngest minds. --McGowan, author of Parenting Beyond Belief and Raising Freethinkers\nThere is no fact in science that is more awe-inspiring and deeply meaningful than that we are made of stardust, the remnants of exploded stars billions of years ago that through the process of evolution have turned into conscious creatures called humans. My Name Is Stardust is the best children's book that captures the beauty of this fact of nature and one that should be read by every child on the planet to put into perspective our place in the cosmos. --Michael Shermer, Publisher Skeptic magazine, columnist Scientific American, author The Moral Arc\nCuriosity about a few universal questions lies at the base of the uniquely human exploration of the cosmos which we call science. Who am I? Where did I come from? My Name Is Stardust captures the excitement of its young author's exploration of her world and its origins. --Eric Meikle, Former Education Project Director at the National Center for Science Education\nEverything in our solar system is made of stardust, including YOU! This beautiful scientific fact helps us understand our connection to the cosmos and everything in the world around us. A wondrous STEM book for children which explores the formation of our solar system, our planets, and evolution on our magnificent planet Earth. Written by a father daughter duo and edited by Dr. Eric Meikle, former Education Project Director at the National Center for Science Education, to include both science fact and wonderment. A full glossary of scientific terms are included at the back of the book. My Name is Stardust is fully illustrated in watercolor and is a beautiful book that gets children excited about science and their connection to the cosmos.
