New Astronomy Book Exposes Kids to Science

Activity book sneaks star learning into bedtime

MIDVALE, UT, USA — Want to expose kids to the night sky? A new picture book Bright Star, Night Star: An Astronomy Story sneaks a little space science into bedtime.

A story about the starry skies, this children's book has activities for finding stars, constellations, planets and other heavenly bodies. Rich illustrations by Spanish artist Luis F. Sanz help identify new objects and words for children ages 4 - 10.

Author Karl Beckstrand hopes the story and activities spark children's interest in all things stellar. This is Beckstrand's tenth book. He likes to weave language, counting, or other learning concepts throughout his stories. He even wrote a free geography ebook for kids: It Ain't Flat: A Memorizable Book of Countries.

Since its release last month, Bright Star Night Star has been consistently found on Amazon's Hot New Children's Books list.

True to its multicultural tradition, Premio Publishing & Gozo Books features characters of color in its new astronomy book. Premio's activity and language books, ebooks and app are nationally-lauded and filled with surprises.
