Reach for this book when your child feels overwhelmed by the world or is beginning to ask big questions about where they fit into the universe. It is a calming, visual meditation that helps ground a child's perspective by showing how the massive scale of outer space connects directly to the tiny, familiar details of their own backyard. Through stunning paper collage illustrations, the book moves from a satellite view of Earth down through clouds, cities, and streets, finally landing on a single ladybug. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who are developing spatial awareness and a sense of wonder. Parents will appreciate how it fosters a sense of security and belonging, reminding children that while the world is vast, every small detail has a place within it.
