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\r\nthat the world as we know it springs forth in all its multicolored and\r\ndiverse glory! \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis window into the opposite and complementary forces of\r\nthe universe introduces children to naturally occurring opposites like\r\nthe moon and sun, the sky and earth, silence and sound, masculine and\r\nfeminine, and even death and life.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nKey Features: \u003cbr\u003e\r\n• Lyrical verses and\r\nglorious illustrations identify 11 naturally occurring pairings. An observation links how they blend and work together.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n• Providing additional context are quotes from renowned figures from the worlds of philosophy, art,\r\nliterature, or science such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Walt Disney,\r\nRudyard Kipling, L. Frank Baum, and others.\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n• The large format and die-cut cover make this picture book perfect for gifting and displaying.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLearning about opposites is foundational to help children develop math,\r\nobservational, creative-thinking, and language skills.
