- Discover how there is a season for everything in this book that explores the process of life
- A full illustrated step-by-step guide to lifecycles and the process of living things
- Watch and wonder at the journey of an apple tree from bud to fruit, watch a rainforest grow over 60 years and be amazed at all a human life contains from its beginnings as a baby to old age.
This book takes 18 different periods of time - from a single minute; to an hour; to over a century - to show the process of life, looking at biology in all its forms, from plants, animals and human biology too.
In one minute, learn that your heart beats over 100 times. In one day, learn how a dragonfly unfurls a pair of wings. In a season, watch a bear hibernate for winter. In over 80 years, see a human live a lifetime. Packed with real science but rooted in the deeper things in life, this poetic non-fiction anthology is sure to prompt questions between a parent and child.
