Summary: Join space scientist Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock (MBE) as she answers big questions, inspiring young readers to learn and discover more about the universe.
Am I Made of Stardust?
If you have a child who is interested in space this is the book for them. Dr. Maggie goes over 70+ questions about the universe, our solar system and humans in space.
Each question takes up a page or two and explains in scientific but easy to read answers for ages 8+. The pages are beautiful with bright colours and illustrations. There are also a real photos of planets and such.
The humans in space section also has some real photos of real astronauts which is cool. This book would make a great book to have as reference, read as part of a space unit or just for the child who loves space. It doesn’t have to be read cover to cover. Your child can look up which questions they also have and read just those.
