I read this in my Illustrating Children's Books class. It's mixed media images set with poems about the sun, the planets, and other astral bodies in the Milky Way. I enjoyed how the poetry casually described these places from an informed standpoint without being too technical.
Bluebonnet committees love Florian. His books of poetry have been nominated over and over again. And why not? At least the book isn't just another sad book of realistic fiction. The little poems are short and powerful in their own way. That, combined with the facts included in each poem, makes this a worthwhile read.
