Synopsis

An acclaimed physicist introduces young audiences to the tiny building blocks that make up the world around us. Elegant and friendly, his explanations of atoms, the elements, and other essential science concepts reveal how very (very) small materials are manipulated to create self-washing windows, stronger and lighter airplanes, and other wonders of nanotechnology. This tribute to the tiny will inspire curious minds of every stripe.

Exceptionally well-organized and smoothly narrated. . . Wade proceeds from familiar around-the-house scale, down to the molecular level, and then to the mind-bending ultrathin molecular level of nanomaterials, all in terms elementary schoolers can understand. . . a treasure of a group read for teachers and students with minds wide open.
