DID YOU KNOW? YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DINOSAUR IN YOU! READ 4.3 million times on the EPIC! app! DOWNLOAD A DISCUSSION GUIDE And it’s your mother’s fault. She fed you that cheese sandwich, which had a calcium atom that used to be in the bones of a T. rex. This humorous story follows a calcium atom as it journeys from dry bones to your jawbone! Inspired by U.S. environmentalist Aldo Leopoldo, this story follows a little bit of dinosaur—a calcium atom—as it travels over time from a dinosaur to a child. In his 1949 classic, A Sand County Almanac, Leopoldo beautifully discussed how man and nature are interconnected. This amazing circle of life is illustrated with humor and a touch of empathy. ★ “…entertaining tale… A science-centric winner, especially for young dinosaur lovers.” Kirkus starred review “…an engaging scientific concept… bright, comical cartoon artwork…” School Library Journal 2021 Arkansiana Award for contribution to Arkansas culture and heritage, from the Arkansas Reading Association 2021 Eureka!
