Small Matters

The Hidden Power of the Unseen

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

Can something small matter at all? Of course it can! In this book for young readers (who know a thing or two about being small), you can take a super close look at details too little to be seen with the human eye. Powerful shots from scanning electron microscopes show shark skin, bird feathers, the hairs on a honeybee’s eye, and so much more, proving that tiny details can make a BIG difference.
