What does a horse have in common with an iron ball? In this uniquely presented picture book, author and illustrator Jerry Allan goes back in time to the birth of our solar system to discover the origins of all life. With bold, dramatic illustrations, readers are taken on a journey through time and space to unravel the mystery of how the universe and life came to be. In this look at the cosmos, two things thought to be completely dissimilar -- the horse and the iron ball -- are used to illustrate how all matter and life are intrinsically linked and connected.
