An Emerging Universe Story

Jennifer Morgan presenting at the American Montessori Society national conference, March 2007.

Science is handing us an extraordinary story about how our universe began and transformed over 13.7 billion years into the spectacular universe we know today. It's an origin story that we all share, not only with every other human being, but with every other living being, our planet earth and the entire universe. It's a new story -- indeed, we only learned the age of the universe within the last five years -- and we've barely begun to grapple with the full dimensions and significance of this story. Everything we knew before must now be nested inside a reality far bigger and more dramatic than we ever dreamed of before.

Universe Story Trilogy by Jennifer Morgan
Illustrated by Dana Lynn Andersen


Inspired by the work of Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme, Maria Montessori, and numerous others, Jennifer Morgan studied cosmology, evolutionary biology and anthropology, and worked with numerous scientists to write a universe story trilogy for the children. Each book has a story section targeted for the elementary level and middle school level and a science concept section in the back for teachers and parents. The books are now used in classrooms around the world. See books below.

Watch AVA, a remarkable 8-year old, recite from memory Born With a Bang, in its entirety.

"HOOKS YOU from the very first page.
