Review of Small Matters: The Hidden Power of the Unseen by Heather Ferranti Kinser

Can something small matter at all? Of course it can! In this book for young readers (who know a thing or two about being small), you can take a super close look at details too little to be seen with the human eye. Powerful shots from scanning electron microscopes show shark skin, bird feathers, the hairs on a honeybee's eye, and so much more, proving that tiny details can make a BIG difference.

**My thoughts**

The first thing I noticed about this book was the absolutely incredible photography used to capture the nature being explored in this book. The colors are so vibrant and almost beg for you to try to reach in and touch them. And then the pictures taken through the high-powered microscope are just fascinating. I think the honeybee on the purple flower is my favorite. 

It's almost like you have two books going on here. For the younger children, you can just read the larger rhyming prose. Older children will appreciate the detail that is given with the microscope pictures. For any of them, I have a feeling they will be inspired to learn even more about each creature. And there's even more detail in the back for further explanation, including a list of other books to read for further information. This is a great book to add to a science area.
