Overview
Meet the planets and discover why Earth is so special in this heart-warming story about our solar system. Somewhere in our vast universe floats a little blue dot. This dot is Earth and she is surrounded by lots of impressive planets Saturn with his ice-crystal rings and 82 moons, fiery Mars with his huge storms and volcanoes, bright and beautiful Venus... Earth feels small and insignificant, until the other planets tell her why she is the envy of them all. And then another little voice, very close by, has something important to say. A Little Blue Dot is a story packed full of scientific information about the planets in our solar system and space exploration. Told by the planets themselves and charmingly illustrated, this reassuring story will be a hit with readers big and small. AGES: 4 to 8 AUTHOR: Maren Hasenjäger is a German illustrator and graphic designer who lives in Münster. A Little Blue Dot was her first children's book for German publisher, Magellan, followed by an Atlas of Oceans and Seas. Maren lives in Münster with her husband and two cats, and her favourite things to draw are children, the universe and animals with party hats.
