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 book shows 11 opposing forces of the universe:
- Moon and Sun - River and Mountain - Sky and Earth - Winter and
Summer - Silence and Sound - Water and Fire - Beauty and Ugliness - Calm
and Storm - Emotion and Reason - Feminine and Masculine Energy - Death
and Life
Each opposing force is represented by a lyrical rhyme and an
illustration that identifies each part of the pairing. This is followed
by an observation to link how they blend and work together, along with a
quote from a personality from the world of philosophy, art, literature,
or science such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Walt Disney, Rudyard Kipling, L.
Frank Baum, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and others.
Learning about opposites is foundational to help children develop math,
observational, creative-thinking, and language skills. The mix of
science, poetry, and art is structured in a way that children will be
drawn into these 11 natural opposites that are part of everyday life.
Perfect for STEM curriculums.
