Review

Stardust's curiosity and excitement for the solar system is a powerful inspiration for young readers. This character is a great role model for the future female scientists! Her sweet narrative, combined with the beautiful illustrations, will help children fall in love with space!

-- Dr. Alessandra Abe Pacini, Space Scientist at the Arecibo Observatory, author of Girls InSpace

This sequel to My Name is Stardust focuses on our solar system and its diversity of planets, moons, and other bodies. Aimed at early readers, this is a concise and well-illustrated introduction to our local star and its companions. Once again the enthusiasm and wonder expressed by "Stardust" reflect the feelings shared by those who have devoted their lives to the scientific study and understanding of our corner of the universe.
