Meet the Planets

Product Information

If a parent or guardian is going to read their child’s favourite story night after night (after night after night) then a strong narrative, good characters and engaging illustrations are key ingredients. Through the pages, we follow a young, aspiring astronaut as she journeys through our solar system in a rocket with her trusty dog by her side. One idea is to simply define a planet as a natural object in space that is massive enough for gravity to make it approximately spherical. A Spool of Blue Thread, the 20th novel from the author of The Accidental Tourist, adroitly shines a light on sibling rivalry, family secrets and the wounding power of grief. This empowering book is from the creators of the international bestseller and much-loved classic Giraffes Can’t Dance – a joyful story about self-acceptance, when a Giraffe realises he can dance .
