Mars likes peace and quiet and is not happy when unexpected visitors start showing up.

But when they leave, Mars realizes being alone isn’t all that great.

Mars reaches out to his space friends for comfort and help.

Maybe Mars is a people planet after all! Author Stef Wade (A Place for Pluto) interweaves friendship and humour throughout the space story and seamlessly connects the narrative to related non-fiction information in the back matter.

The vibrant illustrations by Erin Taylor will keep everyone engaged during story time!
