Review Detail

We, The Curious Ones is a gorgeously illustrated book with lyrical prose celebrating and exploring our evolving understanding of the universe through history. The illustrations are inspiring and fitting for a book about space and our place in the cosmos. In a sweeping journey through time, we get a glimpse of origin myths all the way through to our current understanding. I love the connection to storytelling and how our identity as humans is incorporated into our views of the cosmos. The back matter gives a more detailed account of our evolving understanding giving a deeper understanding of the story. This book inspires awe and sets us free to be curious while grounding us in our shared human history. Overall, this is a book that inspires big thoughts and deeper research perfect for third and fourth grade readers.
