About

Do you wonder

if humans

are the only beings who wonder

if they are alone

in the universe?

Our sun is a star.

In the night sky are all kinds of stars,

and orbiting those stars

are planets like the ones in our own solar system.

Could those planets have life

like we do on Earth?

Planet Earth is not too big,

not too small, not too hot,

and not too cold. It's just right.

Our very own Goldilocks planet...

Follow a young girl

as she explores these questions

in this gorgeous book about the wondrous search

for another Goldilocks planet.

Reviews

"★ "The enthusiastic main character lightens what could be weighty scientific information, providing an entry point for newcomers. Lanan's pleasing, watercolorlike artwork moves between expansive visions of outer space and panels that highlight key concepts. VERDICT An ideal addition for libraries building or updating STEAM collections."
School Library Journal, starred review
"Richly informative prose and intimate yet expansive art show a child's contagious enthusiasm for the book's subject."
