Dorothy Yule: "Science fascinated me when I was young. I wanted to understand how the universe worked, what made things tick, where everything came from. I also enjoyed making things, especially books and small toys. I lost the academic thread of science somewhere between physics and calculus but I sublimated my scientific desires into the making of artist’s books. This book, which I originally wrote in 1996, recalls in verse my experiences as a young scientist: the early lure of bugs, the shining world of astronomy, experiments in magnetism and the electric motor, and biology with its seductive taxonomy."

Winner of Librarian's Choice Award in 2012 juried exhibition "Infinite possibilities." Winner Distinguished Book Award from the Miniature Book Society in 2013. Winner the Meggendorfer Prize for Artist Books from the Movable Book Society in 2014.
