Stuff that Stuff is Made Of
Product Description
The Stuff That Stuff Is Made Of is a beautifully illustrated, fact-packed journey into the surprising world of plant-based materials.
Written by bestselling author and science communicator Jonathan Drori, this book explores 30 fascinating plants and the remarkable things humans have made from them—from seaweed in ice cream and cork in spacecraft, to dandelions in truck tires and rice in ancient mortar.
Each plant is accompanied by a detailed illustration and a captivating story that blends science, history, and culture. Readers will discover how a 12-year-old enslaved boy revolutionized vanilla farming, why bamboo flowering predicts famine, and how eucalyptus does more than soothe coughs. With engaging visuals by Jiatong Liu and Raxenne Maniquiz, this book is perfect for curious minds aged 8–12, educators, and anyone who loves nature and innovation.
