Book Synopsis

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 146 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.

Translated by Leah Francis.

Our Review Panel says...

This is a wonderfully endearing story of our ‘little blue dot’ – planet Earth – offering important facts about our solar system to a younger audience.

Whilst many books have been written about our solar system previously, this one is full of the latest facts and discoveries about our solar system; the facts are interweaved with Earth’s story about its friends, the other planets, and its own important role in our universe.

This book is unique with Earth’s first-person narrative about its environment and the other planets. With wonderful scenic colours and cute planet characters, the illustrations in this book are beautiful. This book would appeal to budding young scientists and children who stare up into our night sky wondering what is up there.
