About these stories

Quiet stories about space for small astronomers. The moon that is always the same moon. Stars that are suns, far away. Eight planets, and a storm on Jupiter bigger than Earth. The sun, close enough to keep us warm. Rockets, and why they push fire down to go up. Earth, a small blue dot from far enough away.

Eight stories, each about five minutes, written mostly for four- and five-year-olds. Counting Planets is the one to start with; The Blue Planet is the one to end on.
