Good Morning Space

The child in this delightful book wakes up full of pep at 5 o’clock in his parents’ bed. In the full darkness, the child jumps from the bed and goes to the window, looks through the toy telescope and shouts: “Good morning, Space!”

The reader follows the energic child’s travel when watching what aliens are doing on other planets: they are dancing, eating, and just going about their own day. At the same time, the parents wake up, do their morning tasks, and the active child gets ready for the day.

Good Morning Space is a sibling book to Linda Bondestam’s beloved story Good Night, World. Here, the perspective is reversed – it is now a child on Earth who is looking at other space beings. Funny surprises and small tasks, like waking a sleepyhead, makes this a peppy challenger to the classic and sleepier feel-good night story.

Reviews

  • Hufvudstadsbladet

    "Bondestam’s comic talent and wild humour flow freely as loud, hungry little kids wake up and take the first spaceship to mom, while a bloody fight (N.B. only ketchup) for the morning porridge takes place in Heartcrumb’s kitchen. It’s a morning that starts at rocket speed. ... Bondestam masterly weaves the tumultuous family morning both on Earth and in Space."
