One cosmic rock : the story of the asteroid that changed our world /

Krossing, Karen,


"From the author of One Tiny Bubble, ONE COSMIC ROCK is a lyrical and beautifully illustrated informational picture book that weaves in themes of resilience and adaptation as it tells the story of a defining event in Earth's history. Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid hurtled through space, on a trajectory toward an ancient Earth that looked very different from the one we know today. Back then enormous creatures towered over marshes, soared above forests, and ruled the seas, while smaller life-forms scurried and snarled, swam and bloomed. Then SMASH! The icy cosmic rock crashed into the planet and life on Earth was completely changed. Large dinosaurs died out instantly-and many smaller creatures too. So many species were made extinct because of this one cosmic rock. Yet amazingly some life found a way to continue and develop over millions of years and many, many generations - eventually evolving into the diverse life-forms -- including we humans - that thrive on our planet today. Back matter includes a glossary and an endnote providing additional context about the asteroid and the crater it left behind in the YucataÌn Peninsula in Mexico. The text and rough art was reviewed by Professor Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum, London, UK"--
