Cosmic Wonder: Halley’s Comet and Humankind is a sweeping, lyrical journey through time—told from the perspective of Halley’s Comet itself. Since 240 BCE, this celestial traveler has returned to Earth's skies every 76 years, watching humanity grow, falter, innovate, and love.
 
In this beautifully illustrated Halley’s Comet children’s book, Ashley Yazdani (creator of A Green Place to Be) blends poetic narration with rich, mixed-media artwork to show how the comet silently observes life on Earth: from ancient astronomers to modern cities, from peaceful co-existence to the scars of war and pollution—and the ever-present possibility for renewal and kindness.
 
Perfect for curious children, budding astronomers, and readers fascinated by the night sky, Cosmic Wonder gently introduces scientific and historical facts while encouraging big-picture thinking about time, the environment, and our shared future.
