Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Astra is a born leader, full of creativity, confidence, and joy. This story never asks her to shrink or hide her ideas. Instead, it shows children that the strongest leaders are also the best listeners, and that mistakes are part of growing. Like her favorite treasure, a tiny moon rock named Mr. Almost a Planet, Astra is still growing, and so is every child who reads about her. THE HEART OF THE VELVET GALAXY In Astra's world, glowing ether threads shimmer between people who care for one another. They can't pull anyone closer or tell you what someone is thinking. You have to notice them, and you have to ask. The Velvet Galaxy teaches that being together doesn't mean everyone doing the same thing. It means making room for every friend to shine in their own way.
