Explore how DNA shapes life, growth, and our unique connections.
Dive into the world of DNA, the blueprint of life that guides growth and change in all living things. Discover how this genetic code connects us to every creature on Earth while making each of us unique. Through engaging language and vibrant illustrations, uncover the secrets of how plants, animals, and humans grow and adapt. What mysteries does your DNA hold, and how does it link you to the vast tapestry of life?
Discover the wonders of DNA in a fascinating new book from the creators of the award-winning Tiny Creatures and Many. Earth is full of life! All living things grow–plants, animals, and human beings. The way they grow, whether it be fast or slow, enormous or not so big, helps them survive. But growing is also about change: when people grow, they become more complicated and able to do more things. And they don’t have to think about it, because bodies come with instructions, or DNA. With simple, engaging language and expressive, child-friendly illustrations, Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton provide an introduction to genetic code and how it relates to families to make us all both wonderfully unique and wholly connected to every living thing on earth.
