Inside Me : Always Busy: A First Science Book About How the Body Works for Toddlers Ages 2 to 5
Overview
What is your body doing right now?
Even when your child sits perfectly still, something inside them never stops. Inside Me: Always Busy is a first science book about the world inside a single cell, and it follows one tiny protein from the instructions written in your DNA out to the work it does all day: breaking up your food, fighting off germs, helping you grow.
Page by page, the book goes where the work happens. The instruction book folded up in the nucleus. The copied note that carries one instruction out. The builders that read the note and make a protein from it. And then the protein itself, at its job somewhere in the body. It is real cell biology, DNA, RNA, proteins and the parts of a cell, told as one story a two-year-old can follow.
Nothing here is simplified into something untrue. It is the same biology a scientist would draw, made small enough to read aloud at bedtime, and it gives a curious child a real answer to what is happening inside them.
What's inside:
- A first look at cells, DNA, RNA, and proteins for curious children ages 2 to 5
- Real cell biology, accurate to the science, told as one read-aloud story
- Soft, hand-illustrated art in a warm pastel palette
- A first answer to how the body works, for the grown-ups reading along too
Written and illustrated by Leah Bury, a PhD cell biologist and science illustrator, who made this book to show her own children the science of the world inside them.
Inside Me is a first science series for toddlers, looking closer at the body one book at a time. This is Book 2.
