This is the second book in THE CHEMIST BEA series. The series is all about gases in the atmosphere and how nature does such a great job of maintaining a balance between them so that human beings can survive. Bea, now almost six, continues to ask questions and discover new things. In Born in The Heart of a Star, Bea learns about Carbon and why we must try to get along with this cool, smart gas that is an essential part of everything on the planet. A unique feature of this series is the invitation extended to the young reader to actively identify with Bea. An added bonus in this second book of the series is the colour-in pages.
