A Garden in Your Belly: Meet the Microbes in Your Gut

Exemplary Work of Creative Non-Fiction

A Garden in Your Belly: Meet the Microbes in Your Gut by Masha D’yans
Millbrook Press, 2020

Your belly is full of tiny creatures—and they love to eat! Along the river of your gut, tiny creatures move, eat, and grow. Learn more about the garden of microscopic flora growing inside the body and come on a journey that explains an important biological concept: the microbiome, the health of which affects everything in our bodies. Did you know that some foods are better for your microbiome (and you!) than others? Striking, original watercolor illustrations keep things from getting too gross. Informational back matter goes further into the science of the microbiome and reveals amazing facts about the gut.

A Garden in Your Belly: Meet the Microbes in Your Gut by Masha D’yans is the CLCSC 2021 Award Winner in the category of Exemplary Work of Creative Non-Fiction.
