When You Breathe
Description
A poetic and visually breathtaking look at what happens inside your body when you breathe
What happens when you breathe? In this beautiful book, breath—the very air, stardust, the grand molecules of the universe—blossoms in the upside-down tree in your rising chest, animating and enlivening you. And when you breathe out, you send your song out into the world.
