What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

The book is entirely secular and focused on physical science. It does not touch on sensitive social or emotional topics. The tone is consistently upbeat and informative.

Ideal Reader

A preschooler or kindergartner who has just developed an interest in 'space' or 'astronauts.' It is perfect for a child who loves repetition and rhyme and needs a non-threatening introduction to scientific facts.

Parent Prep

No specific preparation is needed. The book can be read cold. Parents might want to be ready to explain that Pluto is now classified as a dwarf planet, as children often hear about it from other sources. A parent might see their child staring at the night sky or perhaps asking, 'Where does the sun go at night?' or 'What is a star?'
