Description

A stunning picture book for space lovers with poetic text by author Jenny Sundstedt and fun facts about each planet

In our solar system,
On the fiery hot sun
Burned a mother solar flare
And her little flare, one.
Sizzle, said the mother.
I sizzle, said the one.
So they sizzled and they popped
On the fiery, hot sun.

Based on the poem Over in the Meadow, this galactic counting book guides readers from the sun all the way to the far reaches of our solar system with adorably anthropomorphized planets by illustrator Susanna Covelli. Parents or older readers will love the added fun facts on each page for even more information about the different celestial bodies, their moons, and their orbits.

Author Bio

Jenny Sundstedt has been watching the sky since her dad built an observatory in the backyard when she was a child. She feels pretty lucky to live on the incredibly diverse planet Earth, alongside creatures as small as a single cell and as large as a blue whale, and hopes you do, too.
