SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc "In this gorgeously illustrated informational picture book, a child goes stargazing with their parent, and the night sky sparks the child's curiosity: 'When I look deep into the sky at night, I wonder, wonder about worlds.' Some worlds can be seen with our eyes, some through telescopes, some are seen in pictures sent back to Earth by spaceships, and others are so faraway, we can't see what they look like at all. The child then imagines themself (and their fox friend) rocketing through the Milky Way to visit planets beyond the solar system to see what worlds they can find. These faraway planets are called exoplanets and come in fascinating variety: one is a fiery 'lava world,' another is 'an ocean world with towering waves.' When the child lands their spaceship on an Earth-like exoplanet they discover that, unlike Earth, there are no people on the planet--and they decide it is time to return home to the world they know and love best. Non-fiction content: Each spread includes informational sidebars that explain the child's journey in clear, accessible language. The exoplanets that the child and the reader encounter in the story are not imaginary. The worlds that they imagine seeing and landing on are based on broad types of exoplanets that have been discovered very recently in the field of astronomical science. Captivating illustrations. The final spread is a map of the Solar System, which provides further information about our solar system."-- Provided by publisher
