The 2019 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award Winner

In an astonishing unfurling of our universe, Newbery Honor winner Marion Dane Bauer and Caldecott Honor winner Ekua Holmes celebrate the birth of every child.

Before the universe was formed, before time and space existed, there was . . . nothing. But then . . . BANG Stars caught fire and burned so long that they exploded, flinging stardust everywhere. And the ash of those stars turned into planets. Into our Earth. And into us. In a poetic text, Marion Dane Bauer takes readers from the trillionth of a second when our universe was born to the singularities that became each one of us, while vivid illustrations by Ekua Holmes capture the void before the Big Bang and the ensuing life that burst across galaxies. A seamless blend of science and art, this picture book reveals the composition of our world and beyond -- and how we are all the stuff of stars.

My favorite sunscreen
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70 (Pack of 2)
Protects quite well and still working while working out. Feels like a cream instead of a thin lotion.

Thickkkkkkkk
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70 (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen worked well when we went to a clothing optional beach in 101°f weather - neither my husband or I burned at all and I spent most of the time in the water! My friend and her husband used a way more expensive brand and both burned. This stuff is thick. It sits on the skin even after being in the water and isn't super easy to get off. The second time I applied it I went back into the water and tried to kind of wash it off of my hands and it wouldn't come off at all, so my hands had a visible thick layer on them the entire 2 hours I swam. I even used sand and rubbed my hands - nothing. I finally had to use a baby wipe and then wash with warm water and soap twice in an actual bathroom to get it off, but since it was all over my skin it also got all over my husband's brand new car and isn't easy to clean off. We will definitely use it again because the protection was worth it, but maybe use it a little more sparingly! I have a tendency to slather it on because I got so burnt last year I had blisters and needed rx burn meds and iv fluids to recover 🤣
