From the Author
Hello! I'm so excited you're checking out my space adventure Simon and the Solar System. I wrote this book back in college as an extra credit assignment for my astronomy class. I based the main character on my professor, famed astronomer Simon Balm, whose enthusiasm for space and the planets was infectious. As my career in children's writing took off, I discovered this old piece of writing and decided to update it and release it as its own book. Top Youtube artist Mary Doodles even agreed to do the illustrations, which were all hand-painted in watercolor and are galactically breathtaking.
I hope you enjoy it, and please remember to check out all my other books either on Amazon or DerekTaylorKent.com.
