For young readers, Elle the Humanist is a delightful introduction to humanist values celebrating the virtue of kindness. For grownups, Elle invites us to reflect on this simple recipe for making the world a better place—and how universal humanist ideals have been borrowed by so many religious faiths.”

Whimsical, clever, and surprisingly profound, Bailey Harris writes with the wisdom of a scholar yet never betrays her wide-eyed wonder. My Name is Stardust offers depth and beauty to curious kids and grown-ups alike who dare to ask brave questions about our place in the cosmos.

This is a book of good thinking about important things. One of the important features of this book is that it tries to speak to everyone, no matter what they believe.

In simple text and beautiful illustrations, My Name is Stardust elegantly captures what Neil DeGrasse Tyson called “the most astounding fact” — that we are literally stardust, and that this connects us to everything that ever was and ever will be. A captivating addition to the literature of science and wonder for the youngest minds.

Dale McGowan, author of Parenting Beyond Belief and Raising Freethinkers

Humanism is our planet's best hope for increasing justice, fairness, and ethical living. Elle's clear, accessible introduction to humanism is perfect for budding freethinkers or any young person who wants to understand how to live well beyond the confines of religious dogma. --

Phil Zuckerman, Ph.D., author of What It Means to be Moral and Living the Secular Life

Curiosity about a few universal questions lies at the base of the uniquely human exploration of the cosmos which we call science. Who am I? Where did I come from? My Name Is Stardust captures the excitement of its young author’s exploration of her world and its origins.
