It is even crazier than that! A great child's book is "Unstoppable Us: The Incredible True Story of the Human Race,' Book by Yuval Noah Harari. It goes through the fact that not only is earth a fluke - but the fact that humans got here is wild as well. There used to be four types of humans - of which Homosapiens and Neanderthals are only two of them - that lived at the same time. Highly recommend reading it to your daughter. My 8 year old liked it.
I'll check that out, and I see there are a couple of volumes. Definitely something both my daughters would probably enjoy, and I'm a fan of Yuval Noah Harari anyways. Thanks!

1. Great quote from Thich Nhat Hanh; and
2. The Fermi Paradox would be a nice annex to this piece - maybe we are all that there is out there.
The Fermi Paradox is a great addition, thanks for bringing it up as it's very relevant to the theme of this post.
