Make story time brilliant with a baby book about black holes, gravity, and Einstein's most mind-blowing ideas. General Relativity for Babies takes one of the most important concepts in physics and turns it into a first-word STEM adventure for the littlest learners. From physicist and father Chris Ferrie―creator of the bestselling Baby University series―comes a colorful board book that introduces babies and toddlers to space-time, mass, and the fabric of the universe. Simple visuals and real scientific vocabulary make this book as delightful for grownups as it is educational for curious kids. Give your little one a smart start―with a book that sparks wonder and builds confidence from page one. Why Parents & Educators Love This Book: STEM Vocabulary, Simplified for Toddlers: Introduces key terms like warp, mass, and gravitational wave with clean, minimal visuals and no fluff. - Builds Brainpower & Curiosity: Supports early cognitive and language development while planting seeds of scientific thinking. - Crafted by a Physicist (and a Parent): Trusted by families worldwide, Chris Ferrie's books are known for being scientifically sound, visually clear, and parent approved. - Durable and Baby-Proof: Thick board pages and padded cover designed for drool, tugging, and tiny page-turners. Readers and reviewers alike call this book "a genius way to introduce big concepts to little minds." Whether you're a scientist sharing your love of learning or a caregiver who believes in the power of early education, General Relativity for Babies turns the universe into your baby's first classroom. Gr 5 Up—Ostensibly aimed at toddlers but more serviceable as stealth instruction for older students and caregivers who are a bit hazy on the basics of quantum and Newtonian physics, these board books attempt to explain concepts such as black holes, how rockets and airfoils work, and how energy—measured in quanta—moves electrons only to specific orbits around an atomic nucleus. In General Relativity, for instance, Ferrie, a physicist, uses grids and dots that are color-coded to words in the pithy captions to demonstrate how "mass drags space" and "space drags mass" and ultimately how two black holes spinning around each other "send ripples through space called gravitational waves" that "stretch and squish space throughout the universe." Each of these four outings (and there are more on the way) ends with an optimistic variation on "Now you know GENERAL RELATIVITY!" Not quite…but the taste may make the physical laws and phenomena on which our current understanding of reality is based more easily palatable when next encountered down the road. VERDICT As with Ruth Spiro's Baby Loves Quarks!, the topical reach is well beyond the grasp of even the most precocious young Einsteins, but their parents or older siblings may benefit from these quick refreshers.—John Peters, Children's Literature Consultant, New York "Start ’em young with this STEM-centric board-book that promotes science literacy" ― Los Angeles Times "Simple illustrations and simple explanations to launch your future rocket scientist." ― NPR, Science Friday " Lively explorations of physics, technology, and space." ― School Library Journal "In this board book series, Ferrie makes his knowledge accessible to the youngest of readers--and probably some adults, too… the subject material will certainly be enjoyable for trendy caretakers to read aloud. (And the pictures of babies chewing on the covers are going to be #instaworthy.)" ― Shelf Awareness for Readers "This series is entirely age-appropriate and baby-accessible, featuring bright colors and simple sentence structure; it's just that instead of teaching words like "hippopotamus" they teach words like "electron". A wonderful way to help stimulate interest in math and science from an extremely early age, the Baby University series is highly recommended, especially for library collections intended for pre-Kindergarten children." ― Midwest Book Review "A great way to introduce young children to important ideas! General Relativity for Babies gives understandable explanations for big ideas while building foundational vocabulary about general relativity. My little guy was very intrigued by this board book! " ― iHeartLiteracy " Whether you’re expecting an amazing bundle of joy, or already have one or more, these new books by Chris Ferrie are perfect" ― Kelly’s Thoughts on Things " Physicist and father Chris Ferrie knows it’s never too soon to learn Newton’s three laws of motion or Einstein’s theory of general relativity. His board books are illustrated with eye-catching graphics for baby geniuses and written with a tongue in cheek humour for their adult friends, who might also learn a thing or two about aerospace engineering." ― Plenty Magazine Chris Ferrie is an award-winning physicist and Senior Lecturer for Quantum Software and Information at the University of Technology Sydney.
