The Dance of Time
by Irene Aparici (Author) Enrique Quevedo (Illustrator)
Do you enjoy stargazing? Do you know the names of the planets in our solar system and why they are named after gods? Space is full of secrets... Dare to discover them!
In her younger days, Madam Sun had been a famous dancer. Now she is the director of the dance company "PLANETS IN ORBIT." Its latest show, "THE DANCE OF TIME," is currently a huge success in the GRAND THEATRE OF THE UNIVERSE. Madam Sun, standing in the center in an orange dress, lights up the whole stage, while eight dancers rotate around her in a graceful ellipse. Do you know who these dancers are? Perhaps, after reading this story, when you look up at the starry sky at night, you will see their magnificent show.
The Dance of Time is a book full of imagination and information, which will be useful for parents and teachers looking to accompany children on a different kind of journey through our solar system.
