Our Galaxy

A stunning addition to the bestselling Our World Collection, this colorful, creative picture book transforms into a freestanding globe

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Children are invited to explore space for the first time through rhyming verse and exquisite illustrations: from the Moon and the Sun they see every day, to the fiery and icy worlds of the eight planets in our solar system, and from asteroids and stars, to the galaxy we call home.

Secondary text offers more detailed information and facts, encouraging readers to learn not only about the celestial objects in our solar neighbourhood, but also about rockets, rovers, and other space technologies.

This informative homage to our galactic home, featuring frame-worthy art, is sure to inspire readers to explore the night sky and to learn more about astronomy.
