Glitter Everywhere!: Where It Came From, Where It's Found & Where It's Going

Fans of How It’s Made will love this fresh, irreverent look at the science and story behind glitter.

If you love glitter, this book is for you. If you hate glitter, this book is also for you.

Chris Barton’s informative wit and Chaaya Prabhat’s vibrant art make Glitter Everywhere sparkle as it covers the good, the bad, and shiny of all things glitter.
