About the book

Some things are so big or so old that it's hard to wrap your mind around them. If looks at these hard-to-imagine objects and events and compares them to things we can instantly see, feel and touch. It is wonderful new way of seeing the world and is a fascinating way of understanding numbers and big ideas for children aged 8 and upwards.

What did the judges think?

"This books shows really innovative ways to present data, for example, if time were one month, what would have happened across that time? It includes things that you wouldn’t think of as science, but actually it's data and the way we collect and present data should be scientific."
