An average eight-year-old child is five times taller than this book… but only half as tall as an ostrich. And an ostrich is half as tall as a giraffe, which is only one-twentieth the height of a coast redwood. And how tall are coast redwoods compared to skyscrapers? And to Mount Everest? And in relation to planets, stars, galaxies… and the universe? Award-winning author Jason Chin has once again found a way to make a complex topic—size, scale, and even unimaginable distances—accessible and understandable for readers of all ages. Starting with small things and moving toward the astronomical, this book will help you find your place in the universe.
