The Day Moon and Earth Had an Argument
by David Duff
illustrated by Noemi Vola
A little rift in one of the most celebrated relationships in the universe is the starting point for a cosmic journey through space. One small step for moon, one giant leap for moonkind!
Maintaining healthy relationships is hard work. After 4.5 billions years together Moon has had enough of Earth. So she packs her things and sets off to see what the Solar System has to offer.
From scorching Venus to giant Jupiter, Moon discovers new possibilities and strange encounters. But as she reaches the cold and lonely outer reaches of the Solar System, she begins to wonder whether any new friendship will match what she had with Earth?
A fun and practical review of the planets and their characteristics, which includes further scientific explanation in the final backmatter.
“This is a joyful but meaty take on the celestial beings that surround Earth. It delivers solid SEL as well: in an argument between good friends, sometimes all that’s needed is a little perspective.”
