This is an exciting exploration of the Earth's changes and developments – both good and bad – from the unique perspective of an ever-returning comet, whose passing was first recorded in 240 BC. With each orbit, readers will see the changes in Earth and its creatures, paying close attention to the history of human evolution. Told with wonder and brought to life with striking illustrations by rising talent Ashley Benham-Yazdan, this books asks young readers, what will the Earth look like when the comet next returns in 2061? Time stamps and thorough back matter ground this compelling story in sound historical and scientific research. A kaleidoscope of biodiversity, locales, and peoples, Cosmic Wonder gracefully charts the highs and lows of human civilization through the eyes of a sympathetic watcher.
