Grow: Secrets of Our DNA carries the most important message of all; that we share some parts of our genetic code with all living things, so no matter who you are, you country or species we are all part of life's big family. Life has always been written in one language. * Parent Talk *
I really enjoyed this book. The subject of DNA is very complicated, especially for someone my age, but with this book you wouldn't need an adult to help you understand it. It includes some complicated words that would help if you were being tested on DNA. I thought this book was extremely detailed and is probably suitable for 7-9-year-olds but my daddy enjoyed it and he learnt things from this book too - like the fact that he's related to a tyrannosaurus rex! -- Anna , Aged 9 * Sherbornne Times *
This picturebook is richly informative about animals, plants and people, making for an engaging science lesson. Meanwhile, Davies has a series of YouTube videos in which she reads some of her other picturebooks about science and nature, including Tiny: The Invisible World of Microbes, which is handy for putting coronavirus in the context of benevolent microbes. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times and The Sunday Times Ireland *
