With her new book ‘I - Black Holes,’ Maria Hammerstrom has set out to explain galaxy-swallowing black holes just like you would a red fire truck. Short sentences and simple pictures fill the book about endless voids.
The end of the universe has never been a topic you can just drop on a kid. 'Everybody Poops' is easier on an impressionable mind than say, 'Everything Dies,' but be sure to find the fun read about black holes in the ‘How to Raise a Goth” section of your bookstore.
