About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their voice is too small to be heard or when they express a budding interest in the mysteries of the night sky. It is the perfect choice for the young researcher who loves facts but needs a human connection to see how history is made by ordinary people just like them. The story follows eleven year old Venetia Burney, a British girl in 1930 who used her knowledge of mythology and her love of board games to suggest the name for a newly discovered ninth planet. This biography highlights how intellectual curiosity and a supportive family environment can lead to a lasting legacy. It is a gentle, empowering read for children ages 4 to 9 that celebrates the intersection of science and imagination.
