Stars Beneath Your Bed: The Surprising Story of Dust

This nonfiction picture book is perfect for sharing at home or in the classroom, as it addresses a basic question from children 3 to 6: What is dust? An ALA Notable Book illustrated by best-selling artist Ann Jonas, Stars Beneath Your Bed answers that question with
clear, elegant informational text by acclaimed author April Pulley Sayre. 

Dust
can be “a crumbling leaf, the eyelash of a seal, the scales of a snake, the
smoke of burning toast, ash from an erupting volcano.” And it can connect us
across space and time—dust under your bed might have made King Tut sneeze or
muddied a dinosaur. Bonus text explains the scientific relationship between
dust and the color of a sunset.

Beneath Your Bed is a School Library
Journal Best Book of the Year, and the publication wrote, in a starred
review, “This book is ideal for classroom use, and is both straightforward
enough for preschoolers and fascinating enough to capture the interest of older
elementary students.”

What is dust?
More than you think.
