Journey into the cosmos and discover the wonders above our heads

This enchanting guide opens up the night sky to future astronomers, revealing 15 stars, planets, and constellations that can be spotted with nothing more than curious eyes. From understanding the phases of the moon to navigating by the North Star, children will learn to read the celestial map that has guided humanity for millennia.

Written by NASA science writer Noelia González, each chapter weaves together scientific discovery with ancient mythology and folklore. Discover why the Northern Lights are called 'fox fires' in Finland, learn how to spot Mars dancing across the sky, and explore the timeless stories behind constellations like Orion the Hunter and the Great Bear. Sara Boccaccini Meadows' luminous watercolour illustrations capture the magic and mystery of the night sky in sumptuous detail.

Part of Magic Cat Publishing's acclaimed 'In Our Nature' series, this beautifully crafted hardback transforms stargazing from a casual glance upward into an adventure of cosmic proportions. Perfect for sharing on clear evenings when the sky beckons with its ancient stories.

Suitable for children aged 5 years and up
