Our Galaxy A First Adventure in Space

Selected as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things 2024

As seen in Good Morning America, Oprah Daily, and Parents Magazine

As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, ‘These three beautifully designed books will introduce kids to life underwater, the galaxies above, and their own world here on earth'.

A stunning addition to the bestselling Our World Collection, this colorful, creative picture book transforms into a freestanding globe.

Explore our galactic home with this charming read-aloud introduction to astronomy. Beautifully illustrated and cleverly designed, Our Galaxy opens and folds back into a sturdy circular globe fastened by a hidden magnetic closure.

Rhyming verse and lush illustrations teach young children about astronomical objects – from the planets in our solar neighborhood to faraway stars in the Milky Way. Secondary text offers more detailed, curriculum-focused facts and encourages children to learn about rockets, rovers, and other space technologies.

Inspiring, informative, and one-of-a-kind, this artful homage to outer space is both an invitation to explore the night sky and an object to be treasured for years to come.

Ages 2-6
