Editorial Reviews
“A good introduction to a complex topic.”
—Kay Weisman, Booklist
“With alliterative poetic sentiments that curve across the pages, Savage offers a brief history of the universe that emphasizes interconnection. … Dreamy artwork has the feel of black velvet paintings from the 1970s and seems to glow … [A] connecting end note moves with the conclusion.”
—Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
