The Universe, a beautiful place

• The Universe, a place incredibly huge and full of mysteries. Mysteries that cannot be resolved just looking at the sky. 

• This is a theme that children love. Envelop children in a parallel world where curiosity and exploration becomes their best ally, their favorite game. 

• Each image, each "strange" word, introduces them to a world full of surprises and discoveries that they will be able to understand more clearly later on.
