"Always Beginning" is a great introduction to the concept of the Universe for young ages. Through beautiful illustrations and metaphors, it shows how the Big Bang happened. The timeline at the end of the book and chronological order of the story shows evolution and how the world has grown for millions of years. The idea of the universe can scare many people, but this approach is an inspiring and easy way to look at it. I think adults and kids alike would love this book.
I loved this book because of the simplification of a very hard topic, making it accessible to younger ages. The illustrations are beautiful and the story balances science and art very well. Without being too existential, this book allows kids to ask questions about the world around them.
