About the Book

Hello, darling neighbors! It's me, Venus!
Get ready to be utterly charmed as Venus herself spills all her secrets of the solar system in this witty and wonderfully informative picture book. Discover what makes Venus truly unique: from her intensely hot and, yes, a little stinky atmosphere, to her breathtaking, shimmering brilliance in the night sky.

With its irresistible blend of humor, kid-friendly facts, and stunning illustrations, VENUS! is an out-of-this-world addition to any bookshelf, sparking curiosity and a love for space in young readers. Get ready to fall in love with the sassiest star in our solar system!
