JER: “ Our Family Tree: An Evolution Story ” by author Lisa Westberg Peters and illustrator Lauren Stringer is a simple, age-appropriate introduction into EVOLUTION.  I love how the and illustrator focus on the inter-connectivity of all LIFE by relating our journey from simple cells to complex life as an evolution through various stages and specific animals that allowed us to inherit specific traits along the way. Another great book from my neighbors Ellen and Ted

JER: “ Professor Astro Cat’s Frontiers of Space ” by author Dr. Dominic Walliman and artist Ben Newman is a perfect children’s instruction book on SPACE.  It is written by a Quantum Device Physicist who used to work with my friend @jed.whittaker, and it does an amazing job explaining the fundamentals of space in a way that is relatable and easy to understand.  It goes into the evidence for the Big Bang, the fusions process on the Sun, and how black holes form - perfectly timed to talk about the first ever picture taken of a black hole by the team including Dr. Katie Bouman.
