Infinity cover

This stunning picture book with a die-cut cover captures how the whole universe flows in eternal natural cycles.

The whole universe flows in eternal natural cycles, and this poetic journey captures the beauty of how nothing disappears and everything is infinite!

With all things that exist in the universe, when they come to an end, they start over. Nothing disappears completely; everything is transformed over and over again. When winter ends, spring sprouts. After the night, a new day dawns, and from the fruit that has fallen on the ground, a tree grows . . . These are the magical cycles of the universe, and this book shows 11 of them:  

• Water cycle
• Food Chain
• Phases of the moon
• Cycle of day and night
• Seasons of the year
• Cycle of migrating birds
• Life cycle of butterflies, storks, fish, chickens, and humans

Each cycle is represented by a simple definition and an illustration that identifies the main phases, and is followed by an observation to link the concept and a quote from a personality from the world of philosophy, art, literature, or science such as Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, John Steinbeck, Ray Bradbury, and Jacques Y. Cousteau, and others. The mix of science, poetry, and art is structured in a way that children will be drawn into these 11 natural cycles that are part of everyday life while learning the concept of cyclical time, where nothing disappears and everything is transformed. Whether you are following the migration of birds or discovering the powerful sequence of the food chain, you can trace the progression of science and nature in a way to better understand our existence.


• A circular die cut on the cover symbolizes the continuous process of transformation and encourages young readers to open up and discover these magical cycles 
• Innovative approach to nonfiction information presented in verse with a delicacy and simplicity
• Perfect for STEM curriculums

Welcome to an incredible journey through infinity!
