About this title

Synopsis

An Epic Odyssey Across 250 Million Years

Earthsteps takes young readers on a breathtaking journey through time, following the life of a single piece of sedimentary rock. Starting as a grain of sand on a prehistoric beach during the Permian Period, the story tracks the rock's transformation as it is buried, compressed, uplifted into mountains, and eventually eroded back into the soil. It is a brilliant introduction to the rock cycle that makes complex geological concepts accessible and exciting.

Science Meets Storytelling

Through vivid illustrations and engaging narrative, children witness the rise and fall of the dinosaurs, the shifting of continents, and the dramatic changes in Earth's climate. The book includes a detailed timeline and a glossary of geological terms, making it an invaluable resource for classrooms and home libraries. Earthsteps doesn't just teach history; it inspires a sense of wonder about the very ground beneath our feet and the immense scale of deep time.
