Ever wondered what happens when a star falls from space?
When seven-year-old Leo sees a shooting star streak across the night sky and vanish behind the pine trees, he's convinced it's a glowing ember sitting in the woods, waiting to be found. But a midnight trip to the tool shed with his older sister, Nora, changes everything.
Through a simple experiment with a cold metal horseshoe and a piece of scratchy sandpaper, Leo discovers the invisible force of friction-and realizes that space isn't as empty as it looks.
Leo and the Falling Star is an immersive audio story that takes young listeners on a journey through Earth's atmosphere. By connecting the mystery of cosmic "shooting stars" to everyday things like bicycle brakes and skidding tires, children will discover how our planet's invisible blanket of air protects us every single night.
Learning Objective: Explains how meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere and create light and heat through friction. Perfect for curious minds ages 3 - 6.
