New book for Mike Manefield

October 19, 2020

Congratulations to author Mike Manefield on the publication of

Delta is for dinosaur

a picture book for 3-8 year olds illustrated by Tallulah Cunningham and published by Micronovo Pty Ltd.

Over a billion years ago a bacterium named Delta played rough games with good friends. They formed relationships that changed life on Earth forever. This microbial primordial romp is based on a major event in the evolutionary history of life.

This book is the seventh in a growing series of illustrated children's books set in the microscopic universe of microbiology. The author is a Professor of microbiology at the University of NSW. You eyes won't believe what you can't see.

A book about a bacterium? Fascinating!
