Grow: Secrets of Our DNA (精裝本)(美國版)

Discover the wonders of DNA in a fascinating new book from the creators of the award-winning Tiny Creatures and Many.

Earth is full of life! All living things grow—plants, animals, and human beings. The way they grow, whether it be fast or slow, enormous or not so big, helps them survive. But growing is also about change: when people grow, they become more complicated and able to do more things. And they don’t have to think about it, because bodies come with instructions, or DNA. With simple, engaging language and expressive, child-friendly illustrations, Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton provide an introduction to genetic code and how it relates to families to make us all both wonderfully unique and wholly connected to every living thing on earth.

Nicola Davies is a zoologist and an award-winning author whose many books for children include Tiny Creatures and Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth, both illustrated by Emily Sutton, as well as Deadly!, Just the Right Size, What’s Eating You?,Poop, Extreme Animals, and Talk, Talk, Squawk!, all illustrated by Neal Layton. Nicola Davies lives in Wales.

Emily Sutton is the illustrator of Tiny Creatures and Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth, both by Nicola Davies, as well as The Christmas Eve Tree by Delia Huddy. Emily Sutton lives in York, England.
