The Chemistry Between Art and Science

An inspiring look at how observation, patience, and creativity fuel our discoveries in art and science.

Art and science are often treated as two completely different fields, but if we look closer we might discover that artists and scientists have a lot in common. Like curiosity and imagination! And when they work together, art and science can explain the mysteries of the universe. Like how paleontologists study fossils and paleo artists bring those findings to life with brilliant color.

Beautifully illustrated by debut author-illustrator Jen White, The Undeniable Chemistry between Art and Science follows two children on a journey in which they discover how interconnected these two subjects are, and how they both lift the other up in inspiring ways. With nods to groundbreaking artist-scientists like George Washington Carver and Maria Sibylla Merian as well as the role of art and science in climate change solutions, space travel, and more, this picture book is perfect for kids who just want to ask questions and create, create, and create! Back matter includes more about careers in STEAM, DIY activities, a glossary, a bibliography, and more.
