Synopsis

A poetic read-aloud introduction to space that, that, when opened and folded back, creates a freestanding galactic globe

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 commets, 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 is sure to inspire readers to explore the night sky and to learn more about astronomy.

As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, ‘These three beautifully designed books will introduce kids to life underwater, the galaxies above, and their own world here on earth'.

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

Explore our galactic home with this charming read-aloud introduction to astronomy. Beautifully illustrated and cleverly designed, Our Galaxy opens and folds back into a sturdy circular globe fastened by a hidden magnetic closure.

Rhyming verse and lush illustrations teach young children about astronomical objects – from the planets in our solar neighborhood to faraway stars in the Milky Way. Secondary text offers more detailed, curriculum-focused facts and encourages children to learn about rockets, rovers, and other space technologies.

Inspiring, informative, and one-of-a-kind, this artful homage to outer space is both an invitation to explore the night sky and an object to be treasured for years to come.
