Matilda Meets the Universe by Dom Conlon
So, you want to make contact with aliens? How hard can it be? Meet Matilda as she launches her mission to discover how likely it is that life exists on other planets. With the help of her friends and family she learns all she can. What was the Big Bang? How does the universe expand? How are stars and planets are formed? Along the way she will discover the electromagnetic spectrum, the speed of light, and so much more in an easy-to-understand look at physics, history, language, and of course the all important snacks. Illustrated by Heidi Cannon.
Poet and author Dom Conlon divides his time between staring at the moon, writing books, and thinking about cake. This Rock That Rock, his collection of poetry with award-winning illustrator Viviane Schwarz, has been praised by Chris Riddell as being "simply out of this world" and Brian Bilston as "life-affirming". Dom is an occasional guest on BBC Radio where, as his teachers often noted, he talks too much. Heidi is a children’s book illustrator and author based in the North of England. She loves to paint, draw and imagine delightful, wondrous scenes. She can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a tin of crayons or a messy paintbrush in reach. Her work combines traditional and digital techniques and is inspired by my love of colour, music, travel and nostalgia. She completed her M.A. in Children’s book illustration at UCLan in 2020.
