A beautifully illustrated guide to the universe. This book involves all kinds of science in bite sized chunks. That any reader can follow along with the illustrations are also very nice to look at as you read along. You may not come away knowing everything but you'll at least come away knowing something and be that much happier you did. While I'm not much of a non-fiction reader I couldn't help but pick this up. Out of curiosity that thankfully didn't kill my cat.

Short, concise, accessible and just perfect.
Science made available to everyone is something that is precious. We all deserve to know and understand the world and universe around us.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"You see, you are not so soft after all. You are rock and wave and the peeling bark of trees, you are ladybirds and the smell of a garden after the rain. When you put your best foot forward, you are taking the north side of a mountain with you."
What a true pleasure Sanders takes us on in her lovingly illustrated, fact-stuffed prose. I was hooked right from the first vignette, featuring the above paragraph so stuffed with warmth I could burst. Learning is and should always be a joy, and Sanders fuses facts with philosophy, poetry with the planets, in a way we rarely have the joy of seeing.
