A tiny difference in your DNA makes you one of a kind! Inside every cell in the human body are tiny molecules that define all of a person's biological traits. Follow along with this curious girl as she discovers how the DNA molecule not only determines what you look like — whether your hair is curly or straight, whether you're tall or short — but also makes proteins, creates different types of cells, and so much more. Our human DNA might be 99% the same, but that last 1% difference makes each person unique.
Award-winning science author Robert E. Wells explores DNA with curiosity and awe, pairing thrilling facts with clear explanations. Vibrant illustrations provide glimpses at body systems and use metaphors like an assembly line to show the amazing processes that make your body work and grow. Perfect for budding anatomists and would-be doctors, this is an intriguing look at the power of DNA.
