Enjoyable and educational! 🤩😎 A beautiful book.
Great read! Well written, accessible, educational - and BEAUTIFUL art!
For those who believe in the big bang theory, this is an appealing way to present the theory to young audiences. The illustrations grab attention. I love the opening...

4.5 stars. Really lovely and thought-provoking.
Beautifully illustrated, sparing text.
For: space fans; readers looking for a book that explains the Big Bang in a simple, artistic way.
Possible red flags: some readers may find the book to simplistic with not a lot of facts.
