Fire of Stars by Kirsten W. Larson

Fire of Stars by Kirsten W. Larson

Astronomer and astrophysicist Cecilia Payne was the first person to discover what burns at the heart of stars. But she didn't start out as the groundbreaking scientist she would eventually become. She started out as a girl full of curiosity, hoping one day to unlock the mysteries of the universe.

With lyrical, evocative text by Kirsten W. Larson and extraordinary illustrations by award-winning illustrator Katherine Roy, this moving biography powerfully parallels the kindling of Cecilia Payne's own curiosity and her scientific career with the process of a star's birth, from mere possibility in an expanse of space to an eventual, breathtaking explosion of light.

One of local gems full of beautiful things- there is something for everyone- moms, kids, grandmas, grandkids, home. If it’s a gift- they will put it in a box with a pretty bow. A little secret for those who are chasing after hosiery: they have the best French tights. Friendly helpful staff.
