It's inspiring to remember the 'intimate and enduring connections that we have with the rest of the cosmos,' says astrophysicist Ray Jayawardhana. He wrote a book to helps parents talk to kids about those connections.
"The universe conspired to make you ..." a dad tells his daughter as they look up at a full moon."The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones, are made up of stars that lived long ago."
Jayawardhana drew from memories of looking up at the night sky with his father, when he was a child growing up in Sri Lanka."I remember being awed by constellations of twinkling stars and bright planets like Venus and Jupiter in particular" Jayawardhana says."One night, my father told me that people had been to the moon. I was just amazed. Suddenly, that bright light up above became a place that one could visit.
"I didn't just want illustrations that showed planets, or stars ... I wanted to make it a dynamic thing," he explains."So you'll see the little girl floating in space. You'll see her almost traveling amongst the planets.""I was a big fan of Stanley Kubrick," he says."I sawwhich influenced me a lot, and the way I visualized things. That's the kind of look I wanted for the book.
