A collection of pictures and poems from young people who have been exposed to scientific images. The resulting works provide a fascinating perspective on both the subject matter and the young artists themselves. Sit down with your children )or students) and enjoy the fabulous images and words. Both you and they will see the world differently and be inspired to create some artwork of your own.
A reader from the US who gave See Saw a five star rating on Amazon.
See Saw arrived this morning. I love it, and had to drag it away from our art editor, who also couldn’t tear herself away!
Shannon Amoils, editor for Nature Reviews Microbiology
I think that See Saw is beautiful. Such a wonderful outcome of Anne’s NESTA award.

Amazing. I really like “Earth-sick Astronaut” and “The Spiral Staircase”. “Yellow Moon Haiku” grabbed me too. The dust mites made me wonder what your poets would do with a forest of Aspergillus, seen through a microscope. Most of the drawings, charming as they are, are clearly the work of children. But the poems, in their perfectly printed type, are age-free.

I let myself be captured by the pictures and poems. Beginning with “People on the Great Wall of China, dancing the cha cha cha” and ending with “Birds fly in and out of the website”, I was enchanted.
Professor Nick Amrheinn, biochemist, University of Zurich
See Saw is wonderful. The poems and pictures are really great. To think of E. coli as a pet or to consider nerve cells “gossiping with your brain” really demonstrates the power of bringing together science, art and writing in the educational experiences of children.

Fantastic!
Dr Uta Paskowski, plant biologist, University of Geneva, Swtizerland
This project has a life of its own. It has captured the imaginations of not only my colleagues, but my students and their students and schools.

This work fires the creative process and makes connections between science and the arts in the children's minds.
