Youniverse aims to inspire a reverence for our fragile blue planet voyaging through space. The lyrical text and simple, childlike illustrations linger on one object at a time, building a mind-liberating journey from electrons and photos through atoms, molecules, cells, and the human body; outward to the solar system, the Milky Way, and the universe; and backward to the beginning of time in the Big Bang. Light weaves through the pages as it weaves the universe together, showing us that we have almost everything in common with a quivering aspen leaf and the dust of a distant nebula. "Your imagination is the greatest of miracles," van der Merwe writes, "a consciousness that contemplates the atoms and the stars from which it was made." A child sees a world in a tidepool and an enchanted forest in a copse of trees. Songbirds speak messages. Moonlight whispers through an open window. The inner and outer worlds flow together without boundaries. Does growing up have to mean leaving that magic kingdom behind? Lizelle van der Merwe believes that a child's sense of wonder should instead be encouraged, expanded, and immortalized with the real-life magic of science. The more we know about the quantum worlds within and outside us, the more wisdom is evident in a child's view of the world.

A vibrant and hands-on approach to practical science experiments. Discover it Yourself: Sound and Light is packed with scientific facts, experiments, and activities linked to sound and light.

Keen scientists can discover why thunder and lightning occur, how vibrations are made and who can see in the dark. After learning the essential key facts, children can find almost everything they need for the corresponding experiments around the home, with the materials and instructions simply, safely and clearly presented. Written by David Glover, this STEM-focused book will show readers how to make a sound amplifier, a rainbow, a periscope, musical instruments and much more.
