What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Find your way gently to sleep with this stunningly-illustrated bedtime visualization of a journey home from the far corner of the universe. At the back of the universe, in the farthest corner, in the quietest place imaginable, It’s nighttime. Award-winning author and artist Jessixa Bagley offers your family a bedtime ritual she shares with her own son in The Back of the Universe. Starting from that farthest corner, move toward distant glowing lights, which slowly resolve into our solar system, the lights of our cities, and finally the stars on a sleepy child’s ceiling. Hushed, loving text and gorgeously vivid pictures make this book a true art object to share with any young cosmonaut.
