Illustrated in full-colour and packed with so many fun facts for readers aged 7+, this non-fiction gem is an inclusive celebration that will help children feel special for all the things that make them unique.
Each book in this series draws on science, social studies and activism to explore what makes humans special, from their brains to their bodies and more. Readers will discover brilliant facts, for example that they are made of stardust or how everyone's DNA is unique. The ultimate message of these books is that even when you feel different, it's important to remember that being different is completely natural ... it's just science!
All the information is so easy to digest, especially thanks to the child-friendly illustrations throughout the books. We'd recommend this series for any fan of Operation Ouch!, Kay's Anatomy or Meet the Microbes.
