Synopsis
A lyrical, scientific exploration of what's below our feet, this gorgeously illustrated informational picture book digs into geological discoveries--and embraces the mysteries science has yet to solve. Join "science poet" Kate Allen Fox (Pando, Capstone, 2021--named a Best Book of 2021 by School Library Journal) on a journey to the center of the Earth in this fascinating, wonder-filled investigation of Earth's layers. Illustrated cross-sections and additional nonfiction back matter about the scientific method make this narrative nonfiction a comprehensive and satisfying experience for young scientists.

About the Authors
Kate Allen Fox lives in southern California with her husband and two sons. After a career as a public health professional, she combined her passions for research and writing and began creating picture books about science and nature. Her work has appeared in several publications, including The New York Times. Pando is her first picture book.
Erin Brown is a Belfast-born Northern Irish illustrator who lives and works on the beautiful island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. After graduating university with a bachelors degree in Fine Art, she discovered a passion for stories and children's books. She combines her love for hand-drawn lines and traditional techniques with the flexibility and freedom of adding color digitally. When she's not working in her tiny studio, she can be found baking something overly sweet, exploring the forests and cliff paths of Jersey, or down at the sea shore, watching the tide roll in.
