The Elements of Us
written and illustrated by Miguel Tanco

Everything that exists is made of tiny elements. Yet, it is the connections between them that create something extraordinary. Discover the chemistry between us.

A picture book blending fiction and fact, where chemistry meets emotional intelligence. Through our adorable protagonist, it teaches the basic rules of this science in a fun and relatable way. It is a poetic journey that celebrates individual identity, reminding us that every “element” holds its own magic—and that by connecting with others, we create something entirely new and powerful.

The perfect book to dispel the myth that science is difficult, offering a fun and approachable perspective fueled by curiosity and imagination.
