What we know about dreaming, sleeping, and nature: Volume 4 of the bestselling series by Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim and Marie Meimberg
We have united all our knowledge in answers and pictures across more than 100 pages. If you read this book, you will understand why we sleep and what that has to do with an inner day-night alarm clock, chaos of notes in our super-brain, repairs to our cells, and a trickling hourglass. With horses that cannot vomit and whales that swim while asleep. With bats, owls, and larks. You will understand: This question is linked to how we grow and remember. How nature muddles along. And why sheep are not just there to be counted. This question is full of dreams. Fleeting dreams that we forget again. And dreams of a world that is more beautiful for all people.
Asking questions is a good way to find something out. Especially when you don't stop after an answer, but keep asking. Just like BiBiBiber …
In the BiBiBiber children's non-fiction books, the award-winning authors Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim and Marie Meimberg delight readers with exciting and age-appropriate children's knowledge about STEM subjects. The successful non-fiction books for children aged 7 and up are also available as e-books and audiobooks with music and songs by the BiBiBiBER BAND.
