I remember learning about diatoms from One Strange Rock, and my mind was blown. A dust of old microorganisms from Sahara blowing across the Atlantic and fertilizing the Amazonian jungle? Living diatoms producing up to 20-50% oxygen on Earth? How come I never learned about them in school? My husband and I were so amazed at the discovery and found them so fascinating that we almost got small diatom tattoos. Maybe now we will have the art to inspire them.
I'm looking forward to this book, thanks for sharing!
Such a wonderful book for young, and older children (and those young at heart), who are interested in all the small living things that make up the basic weave of Life…
Beautiful illustrations…
I will show them to my granddaughter- she will be inspired
Haha, I understand this dichotomy of wanting the monkey, but looking forward to get it off your back again.
I'm not sure I knew it was going to be a monkey

wonderful. A diatom tattoo would be pretty cool. I’m sure Prof Sinead probably has one.
It looks great Alex :)

Thank you for such a lovely comment. I hope this will inspire some young people.
Looks really cool, like a gift you’d get for that nerdy kid in your life.
