In the vast cosmic playground, where planets twirl and stars wink, a celestial celebration is brewing. The Sun, that radiant ball of cosmic fire, is about to mark a stellar birthday milestone but there are no other stars nearby to celebrate with. And that makes the Sun gloomy. The planets, who don’t usually get along, have to work together to cheer up their dear friend by throwing a surprise party of interstellar proportions! And there’s also the Pluto situation…

This book is a delightfully informative story meant to be read with other earthlings or extraterrestrial friends of all ages amongst the stars, on Earth, aboard a space station, or anywhere a story of cooperation, inclusion, and celebration is enjoyed.  

🚀 About the Author and Artist: Meet the dynamic duo behind this celestial caper! Dustin Cardoza, a starry-eyed educator, weaves tales from the Milky Way. And Michael Antonio, armed with brushes dipped in comet tails, paints cosmic wonders. Together, they’re on a mission to ignite curiosity in young and inquisitive minds.
