Astronomers and What They Do

"Stars and planets! The astronomer knows a lot about them. With telescopes, computers, and a lot of patience, she studies the universe. Sometimes, she even travels to an observatory in the mountains, because up there, she can see space even better through the telescopes!"--

About the author

Liesbet Slegers (1975, Belgium) studied Graphics and Illustrations at the Saint-Lucas institute of Antwerp. She works as a fulltime graphic designer and illustrator.

In her many books, Slegers frequently focuses on "the first experience of a toddler," a time she characterized as "exciting but also very scary! I try to help them with my books," she added, "and also try to give the parents or teacher some assistance!"
