Planet Awesome!
Publisher: Faber & Faber
Planet Awesome (sometimes known as Earth) presents the story of her first 4.54 billion years, from her birth as a hot, gassy baby planet to the lush, life-giving world we now inhabit.
She can introduce you to her family (other planets and stars), inhabitants (from dinosaurs to humans) and also to her best friend (the moon). And if you’ve ever wondered what the Earth is made of, or what she likes to do best, look no further.
This compact picture book reimagines planet Earth as an A-list celebrity and is packed with fascinating facts presented as a witty life story in an accessible, conversational style.
A humorous, fabulously entertaining and lavishly illustrated introduction to astronomy, geology, natural history and ecology from the point of view of planet Earth herself.

As an astronomer, I can fully endorse this book. It shows an accurate account of Earth's history. It also features asteroids, which I study, so it helps me talk to children about my work. The children enjoy it too and it's beautifully illustrated.
