The Universe in Your Hands

The author of The Door with Three Locks, which became a bestseller in 11 countries and introduced quantum physics to the general public, teams up with Spain’s most beloved illustrator to explain the universe to very young children – and the whole family

Having made quantum physics popular among young people and adults alike, Sonia Fernández-Vidal now explains the universe to children.

The book for the whole family that Carl Sagan would have loved.

In 2011, Sonia Fernández-Vidal shed light on the smallest elements known to science. Now she has set herself the challenge of explaining the vastest entity conceivable: the Cosmos. And she does it in such a way that the youngest members of the family can easily understand it. To achieve this feat, she has had the help of the best-known illustrator in Catalonia, Pilarín Bayés, as well as that of Thales of Miletus, Galileo, Einstein and Carl Sagan. Together, they will tell us the greatest story of all -that of the place we live in.
