Your Child Blasts Off
A silver rocket ship appears in the backyard. Your child, by name, look, and pronouns, pulls on the bright orange flight suit and counts down to lift-off.
They Get to Name a Planet
Every book ends with your child naming a brand new planet. A tiny piece of magic that makes the story feel like it belongs to them forever.
Courage in the Face of Asteroids
Mission Control asks if they want to turn back. Your child grips the wheel and says ‘Nope.’ A gentle, empowering message about sticking with the hard parts.
Inky Starscape Illustrations
Black velvet skies scattered with diamond stars, cratered moons, and friendly hum-singing aliens, all rendered in rich, painterly colour.

She named the planet after her cat
Natalie B.
Verified BuyerThe part where my daughter gets to name a new planet made the whole book for her. She chose Muffin. We now have an official Planet Muffin in the family vocabulary. Worth every dollar.

Verified BuyerMy son wants to be an astronaut and this book takes that seriously. Mission Control crackle, orange flight suit, bubble helmet. He wore his puffer jacket as a flight suit to read it. Adorable.
Love the starry pages
Isabella P.
Verified BuyerThe inky space pages with the tiny bright stars are really pretty. Feels like a proper hardback picture book. We read it before bed because the space spreads are calming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Space Explorer is written for children aged 3 to 8. The hero’s journey has enough excitement for bigger kids and enough reassurance (Mission Control, friendly aliens, a safe landing) for younger ones.
Near the end of the story your child discovers a brand new planet. You enter the name you’d like the planet to have during checkout, and it appears in the illustration and the text.
Your child is the astronaut on every page. Choose their name, pronouns, and a character look so they see themselves in the orange flight suit, navigating the asteroid field, and humming to aliens.
Each book is printed on premium 200gsm silk paper with a hardcover binding. The deep blacks and diamond-bright stars reproduce beautifully. It’s a keepsake-quality book made to last.
