PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Alan Lightman is a physicist and the best-selling author of Einstein's Dreams and other adult books. Modeled on his relationship with his granddaughter, Ada and the Galaxies is his first book for children. He is a professor at MIT and lives in Concord, Massachusetts. Olga Pastuchiv is a children’s book author, painter, and commercial illustrator living in Richmond, Maine. Susanna Chapman is an illustrator, muralist, and designer.

New Yorker Ada, who has brown skin and curly hair, is delighted to arrive at her grandparents' Maine island house, where clear skies make it possible to view the stars she can't see in the city. . . . Chapman (Elizabeth Warren's Big, Bold Plans) has refined a loose-lined wash style that draws power from glowing light sources, creating night skies that glitter and seawater that sparkles. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
