A scientifically accurate book telling the story of the universe up until the formation of young Earth.

When we take the time to learn about the beginnings of the universe, a sense of connection forms and hopefully results in a desire to do good for the world and everyone around us. This book begins by reminding readers of our beginning. We start as a tiny speck inside our mother, just as the universe began as a tiny speck. And like babies do not stay small inside the mother, the universe could not stay small either. It is fun and easy for readers to absorb the basic facts of the development of the universe, sun and planets and remain engaged to the beautiful mystery of everything around us.

When returning from the Moon, I experienced directly and emotionally the personal connection to the Universe described by Jennifer Morgan. We are the way the Universe knows itself. We are it and it is us. All together we are wonderful and amazing.
- Edgar Mitchell, Sc D., Apollo 14 astronaut

In this charming book, the Universe is your home, your host, and your storyteller. If it could talk, it would say exactly what Jennifer has scripted for it.
- Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson

That the Universe can now tell its story through Jennifer's voice and Dana's art, is the culmination of centuries of scientific inquiry.
- Dr. Thomas Berry, cultural historian, author of Dream of the Earth
