The Stuff of Stars by Marion Dane Bauer and Ekua Holmes

 


The Stuff of Stars is written by Marion Dane Bauer and Ekua Holmes.  It is the winner of a 2019 Coretta Scott King Award for its stunning collage art that is constructed with hand-marbled paper. The Stuff of Stars is about the beginning of the universe through the formation of stars and planets to the beginning of life on Earth.  In the book the universe begins with a bang, with stars catching fire and exploding.  The Stuff of Stars examines how Earth evolves over time with its conditions for life.  This is a great way to introduce kids to scientific concepts about the universe.  It is presented simply and clearly, making it easy for kids to grasp.
