Opposites

This lush picture book with a die-cut cover offers a mix of science, poetry, and art to teach children about 11 natural opposites that are part of everyday life.

Everything that exists in the universe has an opposite, and this poetic journey captures the beauty of how none of these opposites remain pure or still. All opposites are complementary; one could not exist without the other—but opposites mix and blend all the time, and it is from this movement that the world as we know it springs forth in all its multicolored and diverse glory!

This window into the opposite and complementary forces of the universe introduces children to naturally occurring opposites like the moon and sun, the sky and earth, silence and sound, masculine and feminine, and even death and life.

Key Features:
• Lyrical verses and glorious illustrations identify 11 naturally occurring pairings. An observation links how they blend and work together.
• Providing additional context are quotes from renowned figures from the worlds of philosophy, art, literature, or science such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Walt Disney, Rudyard Kipling, L. Frank Baum, and others.
• The large format and die-cut cover make this picture book perfect for gifting and displaying.

Learning about opposites is foundational to help children develop math, observational, creative-thinking, and language skills. So whether the passionate and free magic of the emotion inside you wins out, or the thinking and precision of reason has you wanting to help solve the mysteries of life, the opposing forces of the universe await!
