Who is the book for?

Whether young or not so much, We Want Our Genome Story is a coloring book for humans of any age. After all, as the first generation to have our genome data, we’re all first-time students learning together.

The book serves dual audiences through layered storytelling: young children (ages 3-7) experience it as a picture book, while middle-schoolers and adults can delve into the scientific explanations embedded within the narrative.

Are you genome-curious?

The book begins with a person named Artist in her studio, making art about the science-in-us. When a young visitor asks, “Why get my whole genome sequenced? What does my DNA say about me? Why do I need to be genome-smart?” Artist doesn’t know the answers but is determined to learn. Tossing pencils and sketchbooks into her pack, she flies out of her studio to discover our genome stories.

The more Artist looked, the more she wondered, “Where is my genome? What is a gene? What genes code for my superpower? Along her journey, you’ll find that you’re participating in something extraordinary—a history-making, human-wide, Genome Story adventure.
