About her book: The Search for Our Cosmic Neighbours - Hidden Wonders
Commander Julia and her team had one mission: to go out into the vast unknown and answer the greatest question of our universe: "Are we alone?" But after visiting countless moons and planets of every size and colour, they have still found ... absolutely nothing. Commander Julia makes the call: it is time to return home; they will try ONE last planet. It is here, on this seemingly desolated wasteland, just as their patience and hope has finally faded, that they will find the answer they've been looking for all this time. And new questions will arise about what to do next, and about who they are, and what it means it have a home... An ambitious, deep, original and stunningly illustrated picture book that takes readers up into the furthest reaches of space, filling them with wonder and awe every step of the way.
