地球科學主題的精美繪本，帶領大人小孩跟隨一場奇妙的旅程，見證大自然環環相扣的奧秘。
故事從非洲查德（Chad）乾涸古老湖泊中的化石講起，當湖水乾涸、化石化為塵土，
這些微小的撒哈拉沙塵乘著風跨越大西洋，一路旅行到南美洲的亞馬遜雨林，為雨林帶來不可或缺的養分，
甚至還能影響大西洋上颶風的強度。
書中結合了充滿詩意的科學文字與極具藝術感的拼貼、粉彩與手感紋理插畫，向孩子們展示了地球生態的緊密相連——
看似微不足道的塵埃，也能對整個星球產生巨大的影響。
"From two award-winning creators comes a picture book that reveals the hidden wonders of how Saharan Dust impacts the world: from slowing a hurricane to nourishing a rainforest. This dust . . . of what lived once sustains what lives today and what will be born . . . tomorrow. An ancient catfish becomes a fossil, and as the lake where it lived dries up, the fossil turns to dust--but this isn't ordinary dust. This dust begins in Chad, West Africa, but winds carry it across the continent, over the Atlantic ocean, to nourish and replenish the Amazon rain forest and beyond. A Gift of Dust takes readers on a journey that shows just how interconnected our planet is, and how something so small can have such a huge impact. With lyrical, awe-inspiring verse based in fact, and stunning art from a Caldecott honoree, this is a story for our times."
