DADS READ: “Star Stories” by Illustrator Andy Wilx and Author Anita Ganer
JER: “Star Stories” by Illustrator Andy Wilx and Author Anita Ganeri explores the stories that were inspired by the stars. The last several years, I have become more and more fascinated with stars and the our inter-connectivity with the stars.
“We are all made of stardust. It sounds like a line from a poem, but there is some solid science behind this statement too: almost every element on Earth was formed at the heart of a star. . . .
During a supernova, when a massive star explodes at the end of its life, the resulting high energy environment enables the creation of some of the heaviest elements including iron and nickel. The explosion also disperses the different elements across the universe, scattering the stardust which now makes up planets including Earth.” - Physics.org
