I See a Star is the second book in the University of Cambridge: Teeny Tiny Science series and the perfect first introduction to the cycle of a star for children aged 3+.
Created in consultation with Dr Matthew Bothwell from the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge.
From clouds of dust drifting in the freezing depths of space to the explosive power of a supernova, join two children and their cat on a fantastic journey through the life-cycle of a star. As they ride on a meteor, zoom in a rocket and stargaze from their garden, young readers will discover how the stars up above us begin, grow and die in an incredible, ever-changing cycle.
With a storybook format and stunning illustrations, this book will entertain, inspire and gently educate 3-5-year-olds. Beautiful, lyrical text by Saskia Gwinn and breathtaking, collage-style artwork by Daniela Sosa.
