This narrative, designed for young readers, uses a fictional storyline to provide a factual introduction to the vastness of space and time. It explores the extent and primary components of our solar system, as well as the geological and historical eras of planet Earth. The text encourages outdoor activities designed to exercise the mind, broaden the perspective, and establish a larger context for understanding the small speck of space and time that we inhabit. Activities involve construction of a simple model of the solar system and a basic geological timeline. The book celebrates the unbounded curiosity of the human mind and the ability to ponder a universe far beyond our selves.
