Size, speed, weight, direction, distance
We think of space and time as fixed and measurable.

But these measurements--our experience of space and time--they are relative.

Our world is relative.

With simple, engaging text and vibrant art imbued with light and movement, Our World Is Relative offers a child's-eye view of time, space, and the vast role that relativity plays in comprehending our world. It's an introduction to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, perfect for any curious young scientist.

In the third grade, Julia Sooy did a book report on a biography of Albert Einstein; she's been interested ever since. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, she now lives and works in New York City. Our World Is Relative is her debut picture book.
