The Elements of Me
By Miguel Tanco
What if chemistry could explain not just how the world works—but how we belong? In The Elements of Me, the young narrator—a tiny element herself—guides readers on a poetic journey through atoms, bonds, and the forces that bring us together.
Just like elements, we each carry something special inside us, and when the right connections form, something beautiful can grow. Blending lyrical storytelling with simple science and expressive watercolor-and-ink illustrations, the picture book celebrates curiosity, connection, and the magic of how we fit together.
This third book, in a thematic trilogy that began with Count on Me and The Spark in Me, connects STEM concepts with social-emotional learning, helping children understand both the world around them and the feelings within them. Perfect for classrooms, family read-alouds, and curious young minds, the story illustrates that chemistry isn’t just about what things are made of—it’s about how we connect, grow, and thrive.
