An informative and beautiful guide to satellites for children.

Satellites introduces children aged 7-9 to smart satellite technology and the ways satellites monitor the planet's health and help us take action.

Every day, thousands of satellites orbit the Earth doing important jobs. Meet NOAA, Galileo, Aura, James Webb, and more, and find out about their special missions to connect, inform, and protect all of us on planet Earth.

This science book for children offers:
  • The start of a new series that combines space technology and earth science with elements of communication, conservation, and exploration.
  • An inspiring book on the positive impact of technology in protecting and preserving our planet.
  • A refreshing new perspective for space and technology curriculum activities that also explains how everyday tech works.

Look up into a clear night sky and soon enough, you'll see a dot of light zip past. It’s not a shooting star, it's a satellite.

The book uniquely combines Earth science and the latest space tech and is designed to fascinate and reassure. It includes a multitude of news-related themes: climate change, deforestation, wildlife tracking, storm/fire warnings, exploration, space junk, and more. There has never been a better time to learn about our 'eyes in the sky’.
Kate Peridot has written a range of picture books and non-fiction children’s books for curious and daring 3–11-year-olds published by Bloomsbury, Walker Books, DK, Hachette and Wide-Eyed Editions. She loves writing about animals and people that spark a quest for knowledge and a sense of adventure. She currently lives with her family in the sunny South of France but hops back to the UK regularly. View titles by Kate Peridot
