And Vicki, it really is a great idea for a book. Years ago, I went to cooking school and the first thing you learn is that it's all chemistry. Susan K., you of all people, can't you tell that that picture of Archimedes is not a photograph! And I agree about expansion--complicated, though, isn't it? Sort of like white light being made up of all the colors.Susan E.

I remember thinking, "I don't want to write cookbooks for kids, I want to write science books for kids." At that moment the title "Science Experiments You Can Eat" popped into my head. I knew enough about both cooking and science to write an outline on the spot. That aha moment has served me well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214356318088069618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-4317639916226666692014-02-11T02:50:17.481-05:002014-02-11T02:50:17.481-05:00Thank You Susan, I am exploring NF PB at the momen...Thank You Susan, I am exploring NF PB at the moment and thinking I would love to expand on so many wonderful non fiction stories and I am curious about the parts of stories that didn't make the print. More food for thought.

It gives the reader the chance to take in the ideas behind the words and images. Expansion reminds me of the great ancient Chinese scrolls - lots of space and disappearing lines so that the person looking can bring his own thoughts and interpretation to the painting. <br /><br />Thanks for this, Susan. It leaves much to think about.Susan Kuklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468988943704460257noreply@blogger.com
