Story Behind The Book

I was inspired to write this book while trying to explain to my grandson how nothing ever truly dies, but simply changes form. This led to describing the big bang in simple terms. My friend Jeanette agreed to illustrate the book with her beautiful watercolors which transformed the book into a true work of art.
