ABOUT THE BOOK

Just Right: Searching for the Goldilocks Planet
by Curtis Manley
Illustrated by Jessica Lanan
Published by Roaring Brook Press
ISBN-13: 9781250155337
Age Range: 5 – 9 Years

Do you wonder

if humans

are the only beings who wonder

if they are alone

in the universe?

Our sun is a star.

In the night sky are all kinds of stars,

and orbiting those stars are planets like the ones in our own solar system.

Could those planets have life like we do on Earth?

Planet Earth is not too big,

not too small, not too hot,

and not too cold. It’s just right.

Our very own Goldilocks planet . . . .

Follow a young girl as she explores these questions in this gorgeous book about the wondrous search for another Goldilocks planet.

“Lanan effectively balances the girl’s visual narrative with the heavier scientific exposition of the text….An attractive and informative volume for young stargazers.”
—Kirkus Reviews
.
“An ideal addition for libraries building or updating STEAM collections.”
—School Library Journal, starred review
.
“Richly informative prose and intimate yet expansive art show a child’s contagious enthusiasm for the book’s subject.”
—Publishers Weekly
