Reach for this book when your child starts asking those big, existential questions while looking at the moon or noticing the stars from the car window. It is perfect for moments when a child feels small in a big world and wants to understand how they fit into the grand design of the cosmos. This guide transforms abstract concepts like light-years and planetary orbits into a tactile, visual journey. Through its signature transparent overlays, the book offers a peek-behind-the-curtain look at the life cycle of stars and the unique personalities of our nine planets (including Pluto, reflecting its 1997 publication). It addresses the emotional theme of curiosity and wonder, providing a bridge between a child's imagination and scientific reality. Designed for ages 5 to 9, it is an ideal choice for parents who want to nurture a love for STEM without overwhelming a young reader with dense text.
