Michael Rubino

From the Back Cover:

"Where do I come from? Why does anything exist? For too long, young minds have been fobbed off with traditional answers, which are not only false but actually rather boring compared with the truth. Michael Rubino tells the true story - which means the scientific story - illustrated with his captivating paintings. Children will be fascinated by this book, and they'll use it to educate their parents."

--Richard Dawkins

Editorial Reviews

"The illustrations in Michael Rubino’s Bang! How We Came to Be are lively, breathtaking, flowing, thought provoking, colorful, and sharp... This wonderful book would be a life-affirming gift for any child."
