Prepare to be mesmerized by the stellar secrets of the universe!
STARS! is a terrifically entertaining nonfiction picture book that invites young astronomers (ages 4-8) to look beyond the twinkle and discover what stars really are. Narrated by Sirius--the brightest star in our night sky--this addition to the acclaimed Our Universe series is a hilarious and heartfelt guide to the ginormous balls of gas that light up our world.
Sirius is here to set the record straight: stars don't just twinkle, twinkle, and they certainly aren't little! Through vibrant, digital artwork by Stevie Lewis and witty text from Stacy McAnulty, readers will dive deep into the Milky Way to explore: - Stellar Characters: Discover how stars come in different flavors, including various sizes, temperatures, brightnesses, and even attitudes.
- Binary Systems: Meet Sirius B, the pesky little brother that makes Sirius a binary star system.
- The Story of a Star: Learn how stars are born in stellar nurseries, fuel themselves with hydrogen, and eventually end their lives in spectacular supernovas.
- The Secret of the Twinkle: Find out why stars only seem to flicker because of Earth's atmosphere--and how they actually shine with constant light. Why Kids, Parents and Educators Will Love It:
- Expertly Crafted Nonfiction: Combines high-interest humor with accurate scientific facts, supported by backmatter that includes a Stargazer letter and a Stars of the Star World fact sheet.
- A Connection to the Cosmos: Concludes with the powerful reminder that every human is made of stardust, fostering a deep sense of wonder and belonging.
- Acclaimed Creators: From the Golden Kite-winning author of Our Planet! There's No Place Like Earth and the illustrator of Sun! One in a Billion.
Whether you are a curious Earthling or a seasoned stargazer, STARS! is a must-have gift that proves science can be just as magical as a night sky filled with a septillion shining lights.
