As the worlds of science and illustration continue to show, sometimes non-traditional forms of illustration – the whimsical, the mysterious, the abstract – are the best ways to draw in a new audience to scientific ideas.
The book You Are Stardust by author Elin Kelsey and illustrator Soyeon Kim (hey! We were students together!) transcends typical illustration and leaves room for children and adults alike to ponder the wonderful facts it presents.

Wow, Glendon – so cool. And interestingly, it’s the kids’ version of the book I just illustrated for Neil Shubin, coming out in Jan 2013!

In the small-world category, You Are Stardust has an educator’s guide supplement online, from a teacher where my wife used to work.
