Summary:
The heart-rending story of
Laika
, the brave canine space traveller. By two of the co-creators of the acclaimed children's book From the
Stars
in the Sky to the Fish in the Sea: the moving and beautifully told story of
Laika
, the
dog
who
learned
the
names
of the
stars
.
Laika
is an orphaned stray
dog
who
lives in the streets of Moscow in the 1950s in the then Soviet Union. Although she is loved by her pack,
Laika
longs to one day learn the
names
of the
stars
, since she knows that all dogs become
stars
when they die - including her parents. One day, a Russian scientist named Vlad offers
Laika
the chance to travel to the
stars
by helping him with an important experiment, an event that will change the entire world. Part fable, part
dog
story, part history lesson, the story of
Laika
's brave and loving heart will captivate young and older readers alike, offering important lessons about world peace, science, and the deep bonds between humans and every other creature with whom we share the planet.
