“Book Descriptions: From dandelions and oak trees to beetles and elephants—every organism on Earth makes more, and the survival of species and of life itself depends the process and on the diversity it creates. Katherine Roy breaks reproduction down into its simplest, universal conceptual components: organisms must meet, merge their DNA, and grow new individuals. She illuminates and highlights the astonishing variety of this process with examples from across the natural world, from plants to insects to fish, birds, mammals, and more.
Weaving a compelling story informed by concrete science and illustrated with lovely paintings, Making More is an accessible and age-appropriate introduction to life’s most fundamental process, and an essential conversation starter for parents and educators.” DRIVE
