Wonder. Cry. Laugh. Observe. Dance. Be. Breathe. Hold on. Let go. Hold on again. Remember. Forget.

Beautifully written and illustrated little book that explores the wonders of our world, our universe, us. I adored this book!

"When one is considering the universe, unseen matter, our small backyard of the suff, I think it is important, sensible even, to try and find some balance between laughter and uncontrollable weeping."

A charming look at science, space, physics, and life in short one to two page musings. Loved the illustrations that were used as well. Science literacy in an approachable format.
