My Name Is Stardust

Everything in our solar system is made of stardust, including YOU! This amazing scientific fact helps us understand our connection to the cosmos and everything in the world around us. This award-winning book teaches us about the formation of our solar system, our planets, and evolution on our magnificent planet, Earth. My Name is Stardust was edited by Dr. Eric Meikle, former Education Project Director at the National Center for Science Education, to ensure both scientific accuracy and a sense of wonder. The remarkable images in this book are all individual drawings that start with sketches and are finished with traditional watercolor and gouache. The artist digitally overlays the watercolor paintings onto the drawings, then adds more paint to the illustration to introduce texture. The result is a very special painting that helps bring life and color to this beautiful story.
