The Squirrel That Watched the Stars
The Squirrel That Watched the Stars tells the story of a curious squirrel living in Greenwich Park, in London. One night as he’s wondering about the stars above him, and watching the astronomers hard at work in the old observatory, he receives a visit from none other than Cygnus the swan (of constellation fame!), who floats down from the sky to teach him about her world of stars.
