Tractors in Space

Illustrated by Alex Willmore
Come along on a side-splittingly funny adventure and meet the tractors with a big secret ... they're going to space!

Life on the farm doesn't change much for tractors, so when an out-of-this-world adventure is suggested, they rustle up a spaceship and strap in for takeoff, ready to take on space! Battle weightlessness, navigate around black holes, and explore the wonders of our universe with these silly farmyard machines. With lots of heart and hilarious illustrations by award-winning artist Alex Willmore, budding astronauts and tractor lovers will delight in getting to know their new tractor friends while exploring space and our solar system.

Why chug around the farm when you could go on a cosmic adventure with the spectacularly silly space tractors?!
Ross MacKay is a Scottish author and artistic director for theater productions. Ross has worked with a number of theater companies, including The Lyceum, The Traverse, and Freshly Squeezed Productions, and his roles have ranged from director to magic consultant. Tractors in Space is Ross’s first picture book.

Alex Willmore is the best-selling illustrator of The Runaway Pea, and for his picture book I Did See a Mammoth, Alex won the Best Laugh Out Loud Picture Book at the 2024 Lollies. Alex lives in his hometown of Northampton with his wife, two sons, and their chihuahua.
