The Big Space Adventure – ВЕЛИКА KОСМІЧНА ПРИГОДА

Get ready to blast off on a wild adventure with brave Ukrainian and Australian characters! Leave Earth behind for a while to explore strange new worlds, meet incredible creatures, and experience the boundless imagination of children. This book was brought to life thanks to the essential children’s artwork and words, supported by artists and other staff included in this project. This is a bilingual book, where the Ukrainian and English texts tell us about an incredible space adventure.

This picture book is a story about kids at school in Ukraine and Australia who decide to build a bridge to Mars. Along the way, they will have the chance to discover unimaginable planets, asteroids, and the wonders of the Milky Way. But this isn’t just a tale of interplanetary travel — it’s a story of connection, bringing together people, creatures, and beings with different backgrounds, magical talents, and extraordinary personalities. These pages are filled with artworks representing the spacelike imagination of our little artists who designed them.

The Big Space Adventure is a heartwarming celebration of friendship, curiosity, and adventure. It’s a story about the joy of dreaming big, working together, and embracing a little madness along the way. Escape the ordinary and dive into this extraordinary journey with your children, family, and friends. Go beyond the ordinary! Nothing is funnier than going on a space exploration.

Page after page, you’ll travel through fantastic realms, meet quirky characters, and learn more about the space. Discover what KOLOBOK, a PUPSIK, and a MAGIC STUMP are? These are just a few of the curious surprises awaiting you in this cosmic tale. Support young creators and enjoy a story made by kids, for kids!
