Inside Me: Where Does It Go? is a first science book about digestion, and it follows one bite of banana all the way down, through the long, winding tube that runs right through your body, to find out what your food is really made of.The book follows that one bite, stop by stop. It is chewed in the mouth, churned in the stomach like a smoothie, and broken down in the small intestine. There, the body keeps the tiny pieces it needs, and they become a part of you. The rest carries on to the gut, where trillions of friendly bacteria live, and comes out the other end as poop.Those tiny pieces are nutrients, and each kind has its own job. Sugar and starch give energy. Fat helps the brain grow. Protein builds muscles, hair, and skin. And fiber feeds the gut. It is real human biology, told as a warm story rather than a textbook.What's inside: A first look at digestion, nutrition, and the human body for curious children ages 2 to 5Real human biology, accurate to the science, told as one read-aloud storySoft, hand-illustrated art in a warm pastel paletteA first answer to where food goes, gut bacteria and all, right down to poopWritten 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.
