The Curious Atom - Mary Cecilia Groves

Travel with our Curious Atom on it's exciting journey as it blasts its way from the heavens to the earth and hopefully back again.

This cosmic escapade tells the story of a new being as it experiences birth - an adventure we have all experienced at least once.

This exciting story can also be used as a tool to answer that age-old question - Where do babies come from? It will give readers a fundamental view of reproduction and the universe within. The allegory of the Curious Atom reinforces this image in a delightfully light-hearted manner, while nevertheless adhering to the prevailing concepts of modern physics.

It is written for 9 to 12-year-olds but can be enjoyed by children of any age or simply by the young at heart.
