It started with crayons
Every planet, monster and spaceship in this story began as a real drawing by a young artist. We re-imagined them as a galactic graphic novel — keeping the colours, the shapes, and all of the imagination.
Book One · Revised 2nd Edition · A Picture Book in Rhyme · Ages 7–10

Every planet, monster and spaceship in this story began as a real drawing by a young artist. We re-imagined them as a galactic graphic novel — keeping the colours, the shapes, and all of the imagination.
Every page redrawn by hand for one consistent world — and the whole story retold in rhyme. A glimpse of the new edition:
A small, single-eyed dreamer named Eo lives on a gold-ringed world at the very edge of the star-map. When a whisper rides in on a thread of ancient starlight — seek where it all started — he packs his scarf and aims his little pod at the night's farthest curve. Past the certain Mirror-Moons and a dying star that calls him its own; slingshotting a black hole, riding a comet, crossing a great silence; he learns from a wise old Mapper that the universe has no edge at all. And at the rim of everything he finds the Ultimate Truth: the cosmos, still molten and new, has grown — after billions of years — into him. He is stardust that learned how to wonder, and love. Told in rhyme, with real Field Notes at the back.
Read the graphic novel, then watch the trailer again with someone small.
