Overview

"A great way for the whole family to explore the night sky. How magical would it be if stars came to life! What if a constellation in the night sky could take us on a fascinating journey where we could meet other constellations and the myths surrounding them! Lydia was enchanted by the twinkly stars. One night as she gazed at the starry sky Ursa Minor and Ursa Major came to life. The three of them embark on a journey where the Bears unfold the tale of Andromeda, the anger of King Cepheus towards Queen Cassiopeia, the heroic dolphin that saved the musician Arion, the giant Orion and the Pleiades, the love of Berenice and other heroes - constellations in the sky. The Greek Mythology comes to life in the starry sky Structure of the book Each story - chapter refers to specific constellations. A star map shows the exact position of the constellations in the night sky with the outline of the corresponding drawing. In every star map there is always Ursa Major and Ursa Minor because (besides being the ones that tell the stories) Ursa Major is the most recognizable constellation in the northern hemisphere sky so the position of the other constellations can be easily correlated according to where Ursa Major is located. After Lydia's adventure in the sky there is a chapter ""Something extra about the stars"" where some facts about astronomy and the constellations will help in stargazing. Everything is written in simple words and simple terms. At the beginning of the book there is a complete map of the Winter Sky and at the end one of the Summer Sky with the constellations described in the book. Have a wonderful journey across the night sky! The book has won the Panorama International Book Awards 2023"
