Books with author Jim Becker

In this "delightful illustrated book written in rhyme" (as endorsed by Lawrence Krauss), Annabelle asks "Why do we look, the way that we do? With hands and feet, in neat sets of two? What made my eyes? And what made my nose? And the shape of my body, from my head to my toes?" A wise owl answers by taking the characters on an incredible journey through Darwinian evolution. Join our characters as they visit outer space, watch the Earth go through its earliest stages, and gaze in wonder at the earliest forms of life. Young readers will gain a basic understanding of evolution, and perhaps more importantly, what we can learn from it: to be kind to one another, as we are all related in the same family tree.Buy our books (personally-signed) at a huge discount at AnnabelleAndAiden.comTo hear about future Annabelle & Aiden releases & news, 'like' our Facebook page at Facebook.com/AnnabelleAndAiden

This playful, thought-provoking tale explores life’s evolution through the five mass extinctions. Readers will swim with the Earth's first microbes, burrow underground just in time to escape the dinosaur's fiery fate, and repeatedly laugh as each sole survivor foolishly boasts how “This world was made for me!” More importantly, readers will gain a deep appreciation for our small, yet special place on the fragile blue planet we call home.

And if we are good to it,then it will be good to us."

"How did our universe form?" Annabelle wonders to Aiden. Luckily, the friendly Tardigrade Tom answers by taking the children on their biggest adventure yet! Soaring through space and time, they witness the universe's earliest stages, marvel at the big bang, and learn how each and every one of us is literally made of the same stardust. Readers will learn how we each hold a part of the universe inside us, and are far more special, interconnected, and 'larger' than we may think.

Where did humans come from? What is our story? Join Annabelle & Aiden as their friend Lucy retraces our first steps in Africa. We fan across the globe, encountering the strangest human (and nonhuman) creatures: from twenty-foot sloths to tiny dwarves in faraway lands. We learn to cook. Express ourselves. Farm, build empires, and fall in love. We dream of kings, gods, and monsters, and light our world with a scientific revolution. Discover how our shared story can overcome our differences. How it's etched deep into our genes: we're all children of Lucy, and have far more in common than we think.
