I'm starting on a read through of Caldecott award books and this is one of the most gorgeous ones I've ever read.

Planet Earth is blue and there‘s nothing I can do. Beautiful book describing 16 orbits of the Earth from the perspective of the International Space Station. Being in the peace and tranquility of floating in space means that you see an awful lot of things you can do nothing about.

Reading on the station about out of this world travel.

Bit of a contrast.

Mehso-so

Complicated story for having no full out plot, a bit disjointed. I enjoyed the outlook on what it takes to look outside the satellite. Though the six cosmonauts are forgettable. The plot itself was split, so I don‘t know where that was going. There were many good quotes and mentions of looking down on the earth from above, though, that saved the story to me.

If I imagine being high up and seeing our earth as a marble, would my views on life change?
We're mere specs of dust in the grand scheme of things, our life is a blink of an eye. The universe is vast and we have explored only a fraction of it. But exactly that, this rarity and fragility, it makes our lives seem so peculiar and special.
If you could see the earth from afar, what do you think you would feel or reflect on?
