The Moon – Moon Rocks, Tides and Midnight Light

Angelica Öhrn & Mia Olofsson

Join an astonishing journey to our nearest neighbour in space: the Moon! Discover how it was formed in a colossal cosmic collision, why animals such as dung beetles and jellyfish use moonlight to navigate, and how astronauts have discovered that the Moon is slowly drifting away from Earth.

Learn about solar eclipses, moonquakes, tides, and why you can jump much higher on the Moon than you can here on Earth. The Moon is also the setting of one of humanity’s greatest technological achievements: the Moon landing.

An engaging and richly illustrated non-fiction book, perfect for curious space enthusiasts age 7+.

Angelica Öhrn primarily writes for children and young adults. Her debut book, Anton and Teitur, was nominated for the Swedish Writers’ Union debut prize Slangbellan in 2018. She also has a background in nuclear physics, which gives her storytelling a unique perspective.
