"Giving the biggest impact to these tiniest bits are full-page watercolor-and-gouache illustrations in fine detail, with an illustrator' s note explaining methods for depicting and coloring particles too miniscule for humans to visualize. . . . stunning visuals. . . . "-Booklist, Starred Review "The art' s evocative detailing and dynamic compositions create vivid impressions of realism and movement that will carry viewers down to the point where size and location lose their meanings and then back around to the wide-eyed young observer. Another fantastic voyage from an accomplished author/illustrator, creatively presented. "-Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
