Tranquillity

When two alien boys, who live on The Moon, discover the Sea of Tranquillity has no water, their Mum comes up with a brilliant idea for a unique Christmas present.

Tranquillity is an ‘out of this world’ rhyming story for children of any age.

Fact: If you look at the Moon when it is nearly full you can see the dark areas which are known as the seas. (They are all given Latin names, such as Mare Serenitatis – the Sea of Serenity, or Mare Frigoris – the Sea of Cold, or Mare Tranquillitatis – the Sea of Tranquillity).These are not really seas but are huge expanses of smooth dark lava. There is no water on the Moon.
