What We See In the Stars

I've always been intrigued by astrology and astronomy. I often stare up at the stars at night. It's peaceful and relaxing. Well recently, I just finished reading, What We See In the Stars by Kelsey Oseid. It's more than just a starry guide, it's a piece of art and so entertaining and informative. You can tell even by the cover of this book, that it is very detailed in its illustrations. It's creative and unique and very visually appealing to the eye. The color scheme fits with the night sky and starry blanket. This book is full or informative, history, tidbits and trivia about stars, constellations, planets and comets and so much more. It is organized and looks clean and well written. Each page has again, very detailed and beautiful illustrations that bring the story and information to life. It is a very entertaining and educational read. Would be great as a coffee table book, a gift for a friend or teacher, or for fun. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and
