Hardback. Condition: Good. "Outstanding in all ways, this title deserves a place in most collections and adds a wonderful opportunity for upper elementary students (and higher!) to unpack our complicated histories."--starred, School Library Journal We come from stardust our bodies made of ancient elements.
