Geography of the Planets!

A parent would reach for this book when their child points up at the night sky with wide eyes, asking questions about the bright lights they see from their bedroom window. It serves as a gentle, introductory tool for transforming that initial sense of wonder into foundational scientific knowledge. By focusing on the layout of our celestial neighborhood and specific stars like the red supergiant Betelgeuse, the book helps children organize their thoughts about the vastness of space into manageable, exciting facts. This guide uses high-contrast visuals and simplified text to explain complex astronomical concepts like magnitude and light cycles. It is particularly effective for children aged 4 to 7 who are beginning to show an interest in STEM subjects. Parents will appreciate how the book builds vocabulary without being overwhelming, making it an excellent choice for a quiet, educational wind-down before bed that encourages big dreams and scientific curiosity.
