Description
I Am the Universe by Vasanti Unka is a beautiful award winning New Zealand picture book that takes a big idea and makes it feel surprisingly personal. The journey begins among glittering galaxies and gradually travels closer to home, through our planet, its incredible variety of life and the everyday world we share. Vasanti’s bold, colourful illustrations give children plenty to look at, while the gentle, poetic text explores how everything fits together, from the vastness of space to the people and creatures around us. It’s a lovely book to read together, opening up conversations about space, life on Earth and our place in it all.
