This book explores the history of refugees and migration around the world and the effects on people of never-ending war and conflict.

If people were planets, we’d be a lot like Earth …

People are nature. From the water we drink to the trees we climb, we are connected to the natural world in big and surprising ways. With simple, poetic text, and exquisite artwork, You Are Stardust introduces kids to these connections – sparking their imaginations and starting conversations.

Children will learn that the salt in their body is the same as the salt in the ocean, that they learned to speak in the same way that baby birds do – by copying their parents, and that elephants, bats and whales make friends, just like they do. In a world dominated by technology, never have these connections between people and nature been more worth exploring.
