Meet the planets and discover why Earth is so special in this heart-warming story about our solar system.

Somewhere in our vast universe floats a little blue dot. This dot is Earth and she is surrounded by lots of impressive planets – Saturn with his ice-crystal rings and 146 moons, fiery Mars with his huge storms and volcanoes, bright and beautiful Venus...

Earth feels small and insignificant, until the other planets tell her why she is the envy of them all. And then another little voice, very close by, has something important to say.

A Little Blue Dot is a story packed full of scientific information about the planets in our solar system and space exploration. Told by the planets themselves and charmingly illustrated, this reassuring story will be a hit with readers big and small.

This heart-warming short story about the solar system is packed full of scientific information, beautifully introducing little ones to the planets and the solar system in a gentle, easy-to-understand approach. If your child doesn''t usually go for non-fiction books, this one offers a great alternative as it shares information in a very gentle way.

Review quote:

There is a lot of information conveyed within this appealing book about both the solar system and space exploration. The underlying theme of celebrating difference and reassuring those that may feel unimportant next to others is both subtle and kind giving this lovely book an additional purpose.

Review quote:

This is an absolutely brilliant start to a child’s understanding of space, planets and the solar system. Magically told as a narrative and with enchanting illustrations, this is a joy to read and share.

Review quote:

I think that children are going to love the clever way that so many facts about the planets have been woven into a narrative told by a slightly sad and envious Earth.

Review quote:

I really, really like A Little Blue Dot because it explains all about the Solar System and gives you lots of facts about the planets and about dwarf planets. I love the illustrations because they''re bright and colourful. It talks about how all the planets are special except Earth, but in the end they''re all as good as each other. I think that''s a really important message, not just for the planets but for people too.

Review quote:

The first thing I loved about A Little Blue Dot was the illustrations because they are so colourful and have smiley faces. It''s really fascinating finding out about the planets and all the different facts like how far they are from the sun
