Haifa, Israel (PRWeb) December 2, 2006 -- In Your Hands are You, author Daniel Reis promotes the idea of children doing research in a captivating children's book about the how the human hand differentiates humans from the animal kingdom. Wittily and informatively told, the book is also packed with amusing illustrations.
In his warm and illuminating children's book, surgery and anatomy professor Daniel Reis encourages children to search for the answers to questions even as he showcases one stunning part of the human body--the hand.
What makes human beings human? When two kids are challenged by their teacher to find out what makes people so special, they first turn to the animal kingdom for answers. Dolphins do acrobatics and dogs have keen senses of smell, the children discover, which makes them wonder if animals are actually better at more things than humans! It's not until Humph the Egghead gives them 12 funny questions about hands to answer that the children begin to discover this remarkable body part in all its glory.
Reis pares down scientific jargon into clear, easy-to-follow language that children can understand and appreciate, and his whimsical drawings are as educating as they are entertaining. This is a wonderful book for children and for adults, and it is sure to be a hands-down favorite in schools, hospitals and libraries, too.

HUMAN GENOME PROJECT: - In 1991 Michael Coe wrote Breaking the Mayan Code in which he said knowing how this language was 'both phonetic as well as pictographic was as important as the Human Genome Project and space colonization'.
