Explore the unseen universe of microorganisms that thrive everywhere—from the depths of the sea to the air we breathe. These tiny entities, invisible to the naked eye, play crucial roles in our world, from causing illness to creating food and even shaping landscapes. What secrets do they hold, and how do they impact our daily lives? Dive into a fascinating journey that reveals the power and mystery of the microscopic world.
From the publisher
“Sutton’s large-scale illustrations help children to visualize microorganisms and processes that are too small to see. . . . A handsome and rewarding picture book.” – Booklist (starred review) All around the world–in the sea, in the soil, in the air, and in your body–there are living things so tiny that millions could fit on an ant’s antenna. They’re busy doing all sorts of things, from giving you a cold and making yogurt to eroding mountains and helping to make the air we breathe.
