About This Item
New York:: Holiday House / Neal Porter,, (2022). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket (a new copy.). First printing. A fascinating and lovely book by this Caldecott winning author and illustrator - an "exploration of the tiniest components of matter conceptualized by science. The book opens with a brown-skinned child who uses a wheelchair visiting a Southwestern desert. The United States smallest bird, butterfly, and bee, in turn, alight on her finger, in close-ups that ultimately zoom in to a hair on that finger and put in motion a journey inward to the 'building blocks' of biology and physical science. The expedition moves from skin cells to molecules, then to atoms, protons, and elementary particles. Each page, ending in suspenseful sentence breaks takes readers to the next step inward. Chin's stunning watercolor and gouache illustrations, colorfully detailed and scientifically accurate, employ perspective to draw readers into observations of life and matter within the smallest possible spaces." (Horn Book) SIGNED by Chin on the title page with the comment "Look close!" Includes several pages of factual information. Large square format, unpaginated (40 pp)
