October 2024 – Atlas of Space

A beautiful, large-format family book: explore the universe together.
When you look up at the night sky, there is so much to see. In this unique book, filled with real space photographs and illustrations, you’ll discover everything about the universe. Did you know that the night sky looks completely different from the other side of the Earth? And can you tell the difference between a planet and a star? That life on Mars would be quite a challenge? How hot the Sun actually is? And how a star is born? Join the Little Astronauts as you visit extraordinary places in space, such as the Moon, the planets in our solar system, stars  and nebulae. Atlas of Space is an unforgettable journey that will make you look at the night sky with new eyes.
A unique combination of illustrations and real photographs taken by astronauts, astronomers, spacecraft, and space telescopes.
A space adventure, atlas, photo book, and encyclopedia all in one.

My first personalized book in 14 different languages!

Do you need to wear a spacesuit on Mars? Can you walk on Jupiter? Is Venus really boiling hot? And what is the most special planet in our solar system?

In A journey to the Planets your young astronaut puts on his or her spacesuit for an exciting and educational space adventure with Little Astronaut and me, the author.

On a Journey to the Planets is my first children’s book that will be published in several different languages by YourSurprise. This colourful book with personalized cover, your personal message and your (grand-)child or little friend who is, as one of the main characters in the story, visible on all pages in text and / or image.

There is plenty of space to add your own personal touch:

  • Your spacefarer is one of the main characters in the story and can be seen on most pages with his or her face and name.
  • Leave a personal message for your little astronaut with a nice picture of yourself.
  • On the world globe you can indicate in which country your young astronaut lives.
  • Sustainable choice: printed on paper made from Elephant Grass, that is better for the planet.

With this book I hope to inspire the dreamers, thinkers, doers and daredevils of the future to look beyond their own horizons. Because out there, new worlds are open to be discovered.
