A stunning fusion of poetry and particle science that thoughtfully addresses children's big questions about life and death in a way that will inspire wonder and awe in young readers and adults alike.

Inside a single blade of grass, a drop of shining dew, in gleaming wings of butterflies, in stars, in me, in you, are tiny things called particles that bounce and twist and spin. They dance together for a while then spin apart again. And later when the dance is done, we come to our last day. And all the parts that made us up will float and spin away.

Dance Together, Spin Apart melds poetry and particle science to carry young readers from the origins of our life through its end and the return of our energy to the universe. With author Molly Housh Gordon's thoughtful approach to children's big questions about life and death and illustrator Isabella Grott's lush and imaginative illustrations, Dance Together, Spin Apart brings subatomic particles and the energy passed between us all beautifully to life.
