Blast off to space and discover how every part of the universe—the planets, the stars, asteroids, meteoroids, and more—display God’s glory, creativity, and, most important, his love for you and me!

“An informative and inspirational bridge between science and religion for Christian households.”—Kirkus Reviews

In God's Little Astronomer, author and educator Tina Cho invites young readers to blast off to see God’s creation in the heavens. From the sun, moon, stars, constellations, and comets, this out-of-this-world introduction to space will teach budding astronomers new words, facts, and concepts, while also encouraging them to see God throughout the universe, and reinforcing the message that the same God loves them too.

Each page includes fact-filled sidebars plus an accompanying Bible verse, making God's Little Astronomer the perfect combination of faith and science for budding scientists.

Little astronomer, let’s take a
trip to outer space, high above
the mountains, clouds, and sky.

Out the window, you will see
the wonders God has made.

God created the galaxies. You live in the Milky Way.
This swirl of gas, dust, and billions of stars
floated through the universe when God spoke.

Every star glows with heat and light.
Some are giants. Some are dwarfs. Did you know—stars can be red,
orange, yellow, white, or blue? Our Creator used a
palette of colorful lights to paint the universe. Each star
is a guide to His goodness and love for you.
