PRAISE FOR Eon: My Pet Tardigrade

"Young and Jocelyn’s triumphant tardigrade tribute delights with confident graphite drawings, delicate paper-made sculptures and a stirring sense of astonishment." —STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly

"[T]he artists’ techniques makes plain the lengths to which each went to create this book’s paper sculptures, appreciation for which has no age ceiling. A higher-order if-you-love-something-set-it-free story." Kirkus Reviews

"This beautifully illustrated picture book follows a child on an imaginative journey of discovery. . . . An artful creation; this title is a good tool for learning about tardigrades or having an SEL discussion." School Library Journal

"The delightfully absurd premise blends STEM concepts with imaginative play and encourages curiosity about the microscopic world. . . . A whimsical picture book that blends scientific curiosity with creative play, elevated by clever mixed-media artwork." —Booklist

"This enthralling picture book has several potential audiences. . . . Anyone, young or old, interested in outstanding picture book art, paper sculpture and the combination of pencil drawing with collage-influenced composition, will love this book." —Imaginary Elevators
